I suppose. However, the Berlios.de system tends to become offline at times, especially during the weekends. And my http://www.shlomifish.org/ also has its share of problems. If Ask can give me some web space (~20MB-100MB maybe less) and an underprivileged account on a perl.org server, that would be the best solution, IMHO.
