in reply to Is anyone at perlmonks aware that...

Very interesting . . .

I got the “white screen o’ death” again this morning, and decided (since I could not reach perlmonks) to “Google it.”   Which, in turn, led me to this page ... http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=905600. (In other words, at PerlMonks.)

The page popped right up!

I happened to have the “white screen” still open at the same time, and I reloaded it.   White screen again.   Reloaded “this page” again ... it popped right up.   White here, Content there, both at the same time.

So, I deduce that there must be some kind of issue with regard to server-side caching or a proxy-server.   HTH ...

I have already noticed that, when the white-screen does happen, it always happens “instantly.”   There is no delay at all, unlike Perlmonks itself which (despite its beefy servers) sometimes takes several seconds to respond.   And it does make sense:   the page most-likely to be cached, hence to cause problems if cached incorrectly, is the opening (“empty URL”) home screen.
