BackPAN will be there forever ;)

I went and deleted a few files and reclaimed about 20kb.

I hope http://search.cpan.org/ will not get rid of the stuff that can only be found on BackPAN (like after you delete files).

BTW ~ blakems crack about CD's being obsolete the second they're pressed doesn't hold true ~ how many people are still running perl50053? That's right, more than there should be, and #1 reason (i'm guessing here) is probably cause that's what they got on cd.

update: Does cpan.org link to BackPAN?

Apparently Pause knows. After I *scheduled* some files for deletion, I got some info about it, like the current link to BackPAN (temporary), and that it might eventually be accessible via http://history.perl.org.
