cpXXXan
Some of you will be aware of one of my projects that is driven off CPAN-testers data: the cpXXXan. Well, I'm in the process of extending it. Soon it will grow a cpNETBSDan tentacle, and likewise for some other OSes. Once I'm convinced that it works and is reasonably efficient, I'll probably make it so that you can filter by both OS and perl version, using hostnames such as irix.cp5.8.9an.barnyard.co.uk.
CPnetbsdAN.barnyard.co.uk is now working. Yes, that's not the style of hostname I promised. Mirrors for specific perl/OS combinations will probably look like CP5.6.2-netbsdAN.barnyard.co.uk, and if I'm ever crazy enough to add architectures to the mix, CP5.6.2-netbsd-alphaAN.barnyard.co.uk.
