Please delete Firefox from the Internet, since users can click "reload" repeatedly and DoS a slow site. This module is just a web browser. Users are responsible for the actions of users, not the author of software that the user happens to use. BTW, I created: http://programming.reddit.com/info/61jsd/comments/ For general (snarky) discussion. This issue doesn't really concern perl-qa, since it's just going to be a big flamefest. Infecting technical mailing lists with flames and legal wanking isn't helpful to the community. My apologies for the messages so far, but this sort of thing makes my blood boil :) Regards, Jonathan Rockway
