I talked to a Perl interested person based in Tehran, Iran.

Apparently, they cannot access perlmonks.org, even by using a strong VPN / Proxy combination that usually is enough to void the state censorship. I cannot say for sure it's because it contains the "monk" word, but this would be my first guess...

They can access it through http://216.92.34.251/, though (this is an IP I gave them based on the one my browser use from France). Shouldn't an alternate address be set for that case? Or maybe one already exists, that I could send to the person? I know I could do it myself by setting a "mirror" subdomain on one of my domain names, but maybe ops here might want to know about that. And also, I am not sure the IP is not going to change anytime soon, etc.
