search.cpan.org down
Today, and in recent weeks, search.cpan.org has been down a couple of times, but NOT really:
Turning off my router and then turning it on again actually helps!
Does that make any sense at all???
By the way, search.cpan.org is the only site showing this strange behaviour!
I blog about Perl.
When that happens can you still access https://metacpan.org/ ?
I saw similar behaviour for a while yesterday whereas it was fine for other people when I checked on Perlmonks.
This is probably due to the fact that search.cpan.org uses a lot a mirrors and the one that I was trying to access was done (it is fine again today).
The mirroring effect also explains why rebooting your router fixed the problem for you: it probably picked up a different mirror after the reboot.
@Ranguard
yes, I can still access any other site, including https://metacpan.org/
