I talked to the people about the CPAN site being an April Fools Joke. Everyone chuckled. Perl's reputation appears safe, though some still accuse me of "Operator Error" for my work at the keyboard. Oh well...
On the subject of April Fools jokes, I wish this article was joking: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20030401/tc_nm/tech_norway_dc_1 > A Norwegian court will retry in December a > teenager whose DVD-copying exploits made him > a hero to hackers worldwide, his attorney said > on Tuesday, in a case that will be closely > monitored by Hollywood. > The Motion Picture Association of America, > representing major Hollywood studios such > as Walt Disney Co., Universal Studios and > Warner Bros, filed the original complaint > at Norway's Economic Crime Unit. > The Oslo district court ruled that prosecutors > had failed to prove that Johansen's program -- > called DeCSS -- had been used for illegal copying > of DVDs, saying he was entitled to copy legally > purchased DVDs. > There is no specific legislation in Norway > that bars the digital duplication of > copyrighted material, but Johansen's program > has been made a criminal offence in the United > States under the Digital Copyright Millennium Act. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the Fair Use waters... -- Greg London "Do What I Mean" and http://www.GregLondon.com Autovivification sometimes unwanted _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
