in reply to TrAdEz meets with God

Please, I beg you, I beseech you, I adjure most earnestly with suppliant provestation, Please ask him why his article on prototypes at o'reilly has been *invisible* for at least a year or more with no one able to explain why.

If that doesn't stump him, then it must be me, in need of knowing the secret handshake or something. ... but I betcha a dollar he won't know.

    Age. O'Reilly most likely has decided it is too old to matter any more. It used to be available on CPAN also, but if it is even there any more, you'll have to dig really deep. (Unfortunately it's not the time now to check it out, with the current status search.cpan.org is in.)

    Anyway, with a little of Googling around, you can find plenty of mirrors, like here.

    I do share your sentiments, though, IMO it is a classic. I'm actually planning on building a site with a collection of such perl related classic articles, before they drop off the next completely. Like this one virtually has.

      Even better would be to ask him if he minds if PerlMonks would host it as well.... Not to mention any of his other papers that O'Reilly has taken down.
