<p>I was wondering if anyone has thought about giving this site a facelife to make it look modern. I know perl is great, and way better than php. However, having the #1 perl site look like something from 1995 only helps give credence to the "perl is dead" talk that's been going around. I even fell for the talk.</p>
<p>
Not only that, but the site is incredibly slow. Which, again, only makes perl look bad. It doesn't make mod_perl look very fast. I'm pretty sure this may have to do with the free web hosting. The server probably doesn't have the juice needed to make it zippy.</p>
<p>
Let's make 2011 the year of perl.</p>
<p>I'm willing to contribute. Anyone else?</p>
<p>I'm sure if we pull our collective resources together we can come up with something pretty amazing.</p>
