Matts (email not shown publicly) I work for MessageLabs [messagelabs.com] in Toronto, ON, Canada. I write spam filters, MTA software, high performance network software, string matching algorithms, and other cool stuff mostly in Perl and C.
I can't access lists.perl.org and a bunch of other perl.org subdomains. I also can't access search.cpan.org, though I note that use.perl still has updated RSS feeds, so I don't know what's going on there. Maybe I should mail Ask.
