Goodbye use.perl.org, Hello blogs.perl.org
Just a quick note to let everyone know I have abandoned my use.perl.org journal. If I get ambitious, I will write some code to pull everything over there to over here.

About Limbic~Region
My job title is "Information Technology Specialist" which is a glorified way to say general problem solver. One of my favorite ways to solve problems is with Perl.
I believe strongly in giving back to the Perl community by answering questions and spreading advocacy in various forums. I am the author of Tie::Hash::Sorted.
I am also a Father of two wonderful daughters and husband to a beautiful wife. I consider myself a Christian but I need a lot of work in that.
I would so appreciate it if you could share that code! :)
I think many people would love to see that code (particularly if comments are available, but I could understand the problem with them). Just don't run it right away. We still need to bump up the RAM and until then, if lots of people hit this box, it will fall over again. I think it will be done soon, though.
And make sure it has a "nice" delay so that you don't pound the server too hard :)
You can use WWW-UsePerl-Journal and WWW-UsePerl-Journal-Thread to get the journals and comments from use.perl.org (I use it for backups :)). Not sure how you would necessarily put the comments into blogs.perl.org, unless you were going to format them into a single text block appended to the journal entry text. Would be nice to be able to honour the timestamp too.
I will take a look at the modules referenced by Barbie as they may solve half of the problem but I will be using WWW::Selenium to update blogs.perl.org. I have already written code using that technology for Moveable Type since that's what my website uses. I will post the code for all to use but as Ovid points out - not until things stabalize here.
