[comp.lang.perl] comp.lang.perl archives

adler@betwixt.caltech.edu (B. Thomas Adler) (02/15/91)

After wishing once too often that there were comp.lang.perl archives
available, I finally wrote to Tom Christiansen and volunteered disk
space to archive comp.lang.perl.

So, for anybody interested, archives are available via anonymous ftp on
   betwixt.cs.caltech.edu (131.215.128.4) in /pub/comp.lang.perl

Files of /pub/comp.lang.perl are
	. archives/ -- archives of comp.lang.perl, divided by <year><month>
	  of posting.  Dates are from 89dec to 91feb.
	. bysubject/ -- some of the articles, partitioned by subject.
	  Thanks go to Tom for doing this part of the job...
	. refguide/ -- John Vroman's perl reference guide.  The file
	  refguide.tar.Z is just a ztar'd version of this directory.
	. book_ex.tar.Z -- the ztar file containing the examples from
	  The Book.  (straight from uunet.uu.net)


I haven't been updating the "bysubject" directory, but I hope to start working
on that within the next month.  If anybody has any ideas, suggestions, etc
I'd appreciate hearing what other people want in a comp.lang.perl archive.
Also, scripts to go through and do some of the splitting into "bysubject"
would be handy, etc...

-thumper!
