I did something like this before, but I was using a nasty MLDBM store.
I'm using MySQL for the flexibility and for an excuse to tinker with
MySQL.

I took the perlbug -n?ok reports that came across p5p, practically
extracted the interesting bits, and tossed it all into a database.  You
can run queries against it:

    <URL:http://146.229.2.53/perlconfig/cgi-bin/query>

Sarathy said that he thought it might be useful.  Other people liked
it too.  Bang on it, and let me know what you find out.  If enough
people think it's useful, I'll continue to maintain it.  If you have
suggestions for improvements, please share them.  I'm especially
interested in suggestions on allowing users to specify their own
queries (and not opening the DoS doors) and better ways of displaying
the results.
