www.perl.com is (temporarily?) gone
Looks like the domain perl.com was put on hold at the registry.
Anybody have any idea what's up with that? Just curious, and hoping to see it again soon.

Verisign's whois shows an update yesterday, and that it's on client hold. The registration anniversary was the other week, but the expiration is in 2009, so I don't think it's an "expired but autorenewed" type situation. But, who knows? :)

And it causes fun test failures (Score:1)
Some modules, e.g. URI, try live network testing and assume that perl.com will exist.
It happened to me this morning when I was updating some Bundle or other and it took me a while to figure out why the test was failing. When I finally opened the URL in question in a browser and got a 404 error, it was then pretty clear what the problem was.

FWIW, LWP::Online does something similar, but uses a collection of 3 or 4 major sites (google, yahoo, microsoft, cnn) to determine "I CAN HAVE INTARWEB?" but it tolerates a couple of them going down...
