[ID 20000905.002] perlfaq1.pod URL error

This is a bug report for perl from lvirden@cas.org,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.32 running under perl v5.7.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
Actually, there may be two problems here.  First, the URL listed as:
news://news.perl.com/perl.porters-gw/ should be formatted:
nntp://news.perl.com/perl.porters-gw/ .

However, the second problem is more serious.  I don't seem to be able
to access this server any longer.

Also, is anyone trying out the Deja.com archive listed in this same
paragraph?  Since the NNTP server appears to be down, I tried it.  Things 
there appear to be broken as well.  There are 2 messages listed in the
past 35 days or more...
