What problem does this solve ?

More importantly, what does this have to do with beginning CGI ?

If you like them - you shouldn't pirate them!

I don't mean all of CPAN -- portions could benefit however.

At anyrate, the snipped URL was more of a tattle than a tell.  The post
will make it's way across thousands of desktops and be archived by a
couple of list bots.  The last time I tattled on a site which was
stealing Perl book content that site vanished -- will SuprNova vanish?

Will P2P finally saturate the Internet?

No, it shouldn't.

(a) CPAN changes frequently
(b) Most people don't need a complete CPAN archive

And that looks very much like a non-legal way.

Reimplement CPAN as a Torrent?

2004-10-19 Thread Bill Jones 
Should CPAN be re-implemented as a Torrent?  P2P is really hot and
raging in some circles.  Maybe torrents can benefit us in legal ways?

At any rate, this is a new torrent on SuprNova:
http://66.90.75.92/suprnova//torrents/2545/Perl%20Programming%20Books.torrent

If you like them - you should buy them!

ORA has been good to the Open Source and especially Perl communities;
not to mention the book authors spent a good deal of time writing
them...
