Whither PerlDoc.com?

[ #23477 ]

Has anyone else been able to get to perldoc.com at all? Someone take down search.cpan.org to perldoc.com comes back up. ;-)

AWOL (Score:2)

Its been down for quite sometime. However, fellow Birmingham Perl Monger, JJ [perl.org], has been hard at work with his own variant of perldoc, which you might find useful instead:
http://perldoc.perldrunks.org/ [perldrunks.org]

  Yeah. Personally, I don't like it; although he has put some high quality work into it. The layout just gets to me.
  
  I loved perldoc for the older versions of docs inthe same place..oh well.

  That site looks really great! I've been missing perldoc.com, too.

Perldoc.org [perldoc.org] is still there! And, there's always Perldocs.org [perldocs.org] also!

  Ahhh - both are empty (except for some links). So what are you saying - "there's always those interesting empty sites if you get tires of waiting for perldoc to load"? ;-)
  
  Meanwhile, there's always the Internet Archive. Personally I think the PerlDrunks version kicks-ass, but if you must have the perldoc.com version, use archive.org, e.g.: http://web.archive.org/web/20030618143328/perldoc.com/perl5.8.0/pod/perlsyn.html [archive.org]
