This is good news for the US (and nearby) sites that are behind web-proxies that don't support ftp-proxy, as well as the rest of us that would rather not figure out which FTP site is closest. We welcome feedback and comments at webmaster@perl.org. Thanks also to Idle Communications (idle.com), the host of the virtual perl.org site, for providing the network bandwidth, diskspace, and technical support to make this possible.
