Anyway... I can currently see: http://ftp.cpan.org/authors/id/D/DA/DAPM/perl-5.10.1-RC1.tar.bz2 http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/D/DA/DAPM/perl-5.10.1-RC1.tar.gz but not: http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/D/DA/DAPM/perl-5.10.1-RC1.tar.bz2 http://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.10.1-RC1.tar.bz2 How does this diverge from what I should expect? -- "Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony." -- Dennis, "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"
