Re: perldoc.perl.org and faq.perl.org out of sync?

http://perldoc.perl.org is just a html2pod conversion of the perl source, so it's not really their fault.

Maybe something for the perl5porters?

Maybe they could `rsync` parts of the site to releave some of the administration tasks? Walking the road to enlightenment... I found a penguin and a camel on the way..... Fancy a yourname@perl.me.uk? Just ask!!!	[reply] [d/l]

It appears that the perldoc site tracks the current stable release (5.8.6 was released 2004-11-30 and 5.8.5 on 2004-07-21) infact the `perfaq.pod` does indeed have: `perlfaq - frequently asked questions about Perl ($Date: 2004/10/05 22: +15:44 $)` [download] Whereas the latest bleadperl (and http://cvs.perl.org/cvsweb/perlfaq/perlfaq.pod ) version has: `perlfaq - frequently asked questions about Perl ($Date: 2005/03/27 07: +21:21 $)` [download] so I guess that http://faq.perl.org tracks changes to the FAQ as they are made. Which makes sense to me and appears to be intentional thus not in need of fixing. /J\	[reply] [d/l] [select]
