Not guilty, your honour. There are 5 links to the excellent http://history.perl.org/PerlTimeline.html as follows: Part II (1 link, "Did Larry Ever Write a Japh?" Section) Part III (1 link, Response to Jenda comment) Part IV (1 link, "References" section) Part V (2 links, "History" and "References" sections) I just added an extra link to the References section of part V (which was missing due to an oversight). > And you still haven't removed the offending 'CPAN cabal' phrase in part > I.

Is it that you object to the word "cabal" and want it replaced by another word, such as "folks"? Please let me know which word you want me to use. I was not trying to be funny when I used TheDamian; I used it simply as a Perl Monks courtesy because that is his nick on that web site: http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=107600 Having done that, I did find it amusing and extended it to "The Larry", "The Schwartz", "The Hall" and so on in other places. /-\ Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo!
