Goblins come early this year

Apparently nasty car crashes isn't the only news this weekend.  We seem to have lost a drive in one of the machines serving perl.org.  Of course, it's the drive that everything else depends on.



perl.org and cpan.org email and some websites may be non functional while we're repairing it.  Check back here for more updates.



Update 6:40pm: Looks like things recovered with some remote percussive maintenance combined with patience.  (Have we shared how much we love our Cyclades console servers and power management recently?)

www.cpan.org down (not hosted here)

We got a few mails asking about www.cpan.org being down. It's not actually hosted here (anymore). Pair.com is hosting it and they were informed about it earlier today (~5-6 hours ago I think). I'm sure they'll get it back as quickly as possible, but emailing us doesn't help. :-)



Our CPAN mirror is at cpan.perl.org.
