Link to use.perl post is 404 #127

Closed DrHyde closed 8 years ago

DrHyde commented 9 years ago

The link to use.perl in README.md is broken. If it can be resurrected it would be good if the content could be put into the gitpan project wiki.

I think I have a backup of that post somewhere...

Found it in the google cache

(in case that link expires, i searched for schwern/journal/39974)

Here's the currently working link: http://use.perl.org/use.perl.org/_schwern/journal/39974.html.

When use.perl was turned into a static web site, most URL broke down. There's an easy mapping, though, as seen in the above example.

@arc and I worked on supporting both the old and "new" URL, by patching WWW::UsePerl::Server during the Perl QA Hackathon in Lancaster. I think the only missing bit is actually getting hold of the use.perl.org domain to point it at a server running that code.
