ha! vat iz ziz eggs pee?

I'm probably doing perlmonks wrong to be a proper XP whore (last post in
march, and then previously may 2007!), However I was slightly surprised
that it didn't get more votes (ie it's currently has a smidgeon less than
this one:

http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=567471

(ie a slight reply to someone else's code)

Given that it has a pile of fairly interesting (imo) stuff squeezed into it
(the second half can be adapted to render any pixmap as an uncompressed png
- and i'm testing a version with a pure perl implementation of DEFLATE) and
it took ages! (maybe i'm just getting slow in my old age) Oh and it has a
heart warming story behind it n all :)

is it not that good?  is perlmonks empty now?  I dunno (or tbh care).

Quoting Shantanu Bhadoria shant...@cpan.org:


I hope they open it for non-european pm groups as well!!


[It's unclear what you're talking about as you haven't left any  
context. But let's assume it was AFNIC and the .pm domain extension.]


I'm afraid that AFNIC's policies don't change very often.  
Registrations in this ccTLD have been completely closed for a long  
time. The fact that they are now open at all is an impressive change  
of policy. I really can't see them making another big change very  
quickly.

How much are they charging? And is this likely to help?


Gandi are selling a year's registration for £10.

Gosh. .pm domains for sale. Tolerating la perfide Angleterre. Whatever next?
Supporting br_FR?

PS Yes, I had to do some research to find out that it was br, and check
   that the language is first, the country second.
