CPAN Shifts Focus

cascadefx writes "Looks like CPAN has changed its focus to support Java now. A look at their page shows that is is now CJAN, the Comprehensive Java Archive Network where you will find all things Java." This should be a great boon to Java, a language renown for, well, sucking. But at the expense of the greatest of all languages? It's just too sad for me to express in words. I mean, who uses java anyway?

Not entirely an AF joke. CJAN is *real*.

This story is fake, but it did inspire me to do a Google search, which turned up CJAN: Comprehensive Java Archive Network [cjan.org]. It's not up yet (the front page is just a blog), but it's coming. Seriously.

In real non april 1st way, the Perl Peeps are all really grateful for Sun's support of Perl.

Recently Sun donated some new hardware to make search.cpan.org [cpan.org] work a lot faster. This was covered on use Perl [perl.org].

Thanks Sun!
