(Not that it is much advance warning, I'm afraid, but I only became aware of his page last night) It would be great if he could make a translation. I guess the easiest way to get the Storable docs before it gets to CPAN is from the repository browser: http://public.activestate.com/cgi-bin/perlbrowse?filename=ext%2FStorable%2FStorable.pm&action=print&patch=&.submit=Submit&.cgifields=action (unless he's got a copy of one of Jarkko's recent snapshots, which I doubt) > Well, his web page has a warning saying "no warranty for translations, > and translated version is not always up-to-date.

It's good to know that whenever the documentation is updated it's safe to keep on referring to that page without fear that people will read just the translation and assume that it is current.
