    Update: According to lemming, it's the Polish domain. In which case, if registration is less than $100 USD for perlmonks.pl, I'll spring for it, on behalf of vroom & company.

    Because there is no '.pl' TLD? At least, not according to www.register.com.

      It's the Polish national domain.
      Example: Copernicus

      UPDATE:
      Polish Domain Search is the place to start
      I checked for perlmonks.pl there and it's definitly available. Looks to me that there are 23 polish domains so far. This may mean that there is a restriction on who can own the domain. I know in Italy you have to be a citizen or a firm based there.
      I looked at the fee page and if anybody could tell me how much 800 PLN is? I assume the 22% VAT is Value added tax.

      I'd buy more T-shirts to support getting the domain. That's just cool.

      I wonder if helloworld.pl is available.

    my first try was nic.pl and it redirects to netnames.pl
    go here for the english version: http://www.netnames.pl/uk/

    I'm not sure if this is the official organization (don't official sites have to be ugly/compatible or something?) but they charge you 800 PLN (US$ 174.863 + 22% VAT) for the .pl domain.

    Of course you could go ahead and get perlmonks.mil.pl for 650 PLN ... sure hope no one takes that too seriously ;-)

      They'll have no other choice than to take us seriously when we start to, erm, "obsolete" a couple of VB or ASP heretics! ;-)
