For vim, add this to your .vimrc file and perl -c will be run simply by saving your script without even exiting.

It's quite common with ORA. Often an author will tell people their article has just gone up and all you get from ORA for a few hours is 500 Errors. Sometime it's like that for a whole weekend, sometime it's just the printable version of the story. Strange...
