Er, why? What if the stewards of learn.perl.org reject your change? Perhaps you should start a dialogue regarding these changes first. Yes, I realize you could consider the last 3 or so years of email a "dialogue" but it's sounded more like a monologue to me. For instance, bdf is under the impression that you want to "take over" learn.perl.org. He is not alone in that impression. Most of your emails to this point have sounded like "learn.perl.org sucks and I can make it better if you'd just let me change it" And above, presupposing that your changes will be applied doesn't win you any friends either. If it's possible, you should try to start over and be a little more humble in your requests. Start with "here's a small change to learn.perl.org that I think will benefit the perl community" and go from there. Your text above is agressive and pushy--"here's a change, I'll be waiting for you to apply it" Be less pushy. > > He has his own site.

If the "standard" perl sites aren't giving in to your requests, then a way to make things better is to create and promote your own sites such that they become the "standard". It doesn't matter if learn.perl.org is given in books and what not if you do a good job promoting your site *and* it's clearly a better resource. Darwin always wins in the end. my two cents, -Scott -- Jonathan Scott Duff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
