this change looks long because i removed the "Changes" section from perlfaq.pod. we haven't been updating it and most of the changes it references have been further changed or disappeared. we can always reconstruct this info from the CVS log if someone wants it.
the rest of the changes are for broken or updated URLs. some things appear to have disappeared.
