I haven't seen many other announcements for this site, none here, so here goes...

With search.cpan.org and perldoc.com often being unreachable (I guess that they're suffering from DDOS attacks, almost any reasonably well-known site has an attack of up to a few hours, now and then), it might be good to know that there's a new alternative Perldoc site online: http://perldoc.perldrunks.org. It looks good (IMHO), is currently very fast, is available as a whole for download in HTML and in PDF, and does syntax highlighting for the Perl code found in the docs. Cheers to the author, a job well done.

These are the announcements I saw for it on other sites:

Enjoy.
