Perl v5.16R0, VMS and others docs issues

Hi!

Perl v5.16R0 links README[.](.*) docs from pod/perl$1.pod, but not for perlvms.pod,
because perlvms.pod already exist.

pod/perlvms.pod and README.vms are different docs. So, README.vms is not installed with the
distribution, only perlvms.pod.

Another issue (?) is README.micro. It still exists, but is not linked by perl.pod, and therefore
perlmicro.pod is not generated.

Github changed pod rendering HTML format

Hi!.

Today, I saw that Github render iso-8859-1 encoded pod pages with a double utf8 encoding bug.

Example:

	https://github.com/zipf/perldoc-es/blob/master/pod/reviewed/perl.pod

but, one pod utf8 encoded *with* =encoding utf8 tag, renders it well:

	https://github.com/zipf/perldoc-es/blob/master/pod/translated/perl5101delta.pod#___top

¿Will we need to change all POD documentation to utf8, definitely?

Fw: Two Documents Restored from perl.net.au

Begin forwarded message:

Date: Sat, 24 Mar 2012 20:00:32 +0200
From: Shlomi Fish <shlomif <at> shlomifish.org>
To: Perl in Israel <perl <at> perl.org.il>
Subject: Two Documents Restored from perl.net.au

Hi all.

http://perl.net.au/ was a somewhat popular wiki for all things Perl. Then it
was heavily spammed, and afterwards went completely offline for many months,
and the admins have become busy. Luckily, in the past days I was able to restore
some of the contents from the Wayback Machine, and place them here and here:

* http://perl-begin.org/FAQs/freenode-perl/ - the Freenode #perl’s FAQ.

* http://perl-begin.org/humour/ - a page collecting Perl Humour.

I plan to restore more stuff.

For how I restored it: I tried several scripts (and a CPAN module) I found
online (which were hard to come by, and I was disappointed that apparently the
Wayback Machine does not provide a Web API), and eventually used this script
written in Python:

http://code.activestate.com/recipes/286224-pulling-stuff-out-of-the-internet-archive-wayback-/

I had to modify it to not be recursive.

Anyway, enjoy!

Regards,

	Shlomi Fish

Perl 5 wiki

The [official Perl 5 wiki](http://p3rl.org/wiki) has recently become
unusable for its original purpose, see the
[announcement](http://use.perl.org/~schwern/journal/33751). It is
currently impossible to register as a new user. I sent an email to
<support <at> socialtext.com> six days ago and have yet to receive an
acknowledgement/reply/fix.

I am looking for a champion to take up the cause: investigate what's
going on and keep nagging so that access to registration is restored.
In case we cannot get satisfaction in a reasonable time, let's consider
cutting ties. Some initial thoughts:

* Export everything, tools available from
  <http://search.cpan.org/~lukec/>.
* Evaluate Perl wiki softwares and import. Should support [Wiki
  Creole](http://enwp.org/Creole_(markup)) and
  [Markdown](http://enwp.org/Markdown) syntaxes for editing. Usability
  must pass mst's opinion as "not crap". Must not have URL cruft.
  Insert your own favourite bikeshed colour here.
* Find a reliable host for the software: Perl NOC/digital
  craftsmen/speedchilli/etc.
* Ask [Perl NOC](http://noc.perl.org/) for `wiki.perl.org` CNAME.
* Send webmasters of perlfoundation.org and socialtext.net some
  configuration snippets for their Apache httpd and nginx so that the
  legacy URLs permanently redirect to the new ones.

Re: About.com Guide for Perl [was Fwd: RE: Guide Application for [Perl]]

Hello Joel,

sorry for the late response.

Well, in my letter I asked if anyone would be willing to volunteer for
maintaining the Perl section of About.com, due to the fact that my
application was rejected. The fact that my application was rejected was a
given and I assumed there was little or nothing I could do about it. Telling me
why my writing is lacking, is besides the point of finding someone to maintain
the Perl section on About.com, and I didn't request that input.

Thanks for passing your commentary on my writing, but it's not going to help
with the issue I raised.

Regards,

	Shlomi Fish

HTTP::Tiny and JSON::PP

I noticed that perldoc.perl.org does not list HTTP::Tiny and JSON::PP
as core modules. I believe this is a documentation bug. 5.14 has been
out for a while now. I have contacted Jon Allen a couple weeks ago
about this and have not heard a response. Hopefully someone on this
list can do something about this.

Thanks,
Naveed
