davorg is on holiday for two weeks: http://use.perl.org/~davorg/journal/8293

The links on that page were already of the form

   http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1930110006/perlmongers01

which would appear to be a single central Amazon affiliate for the perl
mongers. But we should check (with Dave or someone else pm.org related)
that that affiliate is still live, and still shovelling pennies to the
right people.

Perhaps this is something that can be co-ordinated through pm.org itself, as 
this may avoid conflicts of interest between regional monger groups.

Davorg care to comment?
