For a slightly different view of PerlMonks, you can try GoogleMonks
</shameless_plug>

And if you're not averse to a bit of XML-parsing, there is http://tinymicros.com/pm/monks.xml, which is updated daily, and is where GoogleMonks gets its data from. Although, it only includes those Monks that have supplied location data on their home nodes (about 900-odd).

Update: Oh, I just noticed that even though that XML feed from tinymicros is still up, it has stopped updating a couple of months ago. /me goes looking for JC...

Cheers,

McDarren It appears that JCWren is still trying to to correct a disk crash, I think there must be other issues, as this has been ongoing for some time without further updates, I tried contacting him some time ago but without success.

Perhaps others at PM have more knowledge of what's going on.

I offered him some help to bring the service up again and he replied once asking a few things; no more luck so far. He was running a Red Hat 7.x system and the web depended on PHP4 before the disk crash.

I'll try to contact him again when one of my RH7 servers is spare, just in case he's still interested in revamping the site.
