Where are the perl folks?

["Eric J. Roode" <sdn@comcast.net>]

I posted an article to comp.lang.perl.announce a couple weeks ago.  I
received a prompt reply, apparently by Randal Schwartz, indicating
that the article was accepted and posted.  However, it never showed up
on the newsgroup (according to my ISP's newsfeed and Google), so I
sent a reply to the acceptance email, asking the status, and never
heard anything back.  Also, I haven't seen anything at all come
through c.l.p.a for two or three weeks.

I requested a CPAN namespace at pause.perl.org a week or two ago, and
have heard nothing.  Someone else posted to modules@perl.org,
inquiring about the status of their namespace request which has also
been unanswered.  A quick scan of the modules@perl.org archive shows
that nothing but automated messages (and spam) have been posted for at
least two weeks.

I have some mods to the perl debugger that I'd like to contribute.  So
I want to re-join perl5-porters.  I went to dev.perl.org and followed
the instructions (send a blank email to thus-and-such address).  I did
so (twice!), and got neither confirmation nor rejection.  Nor have I
received any emails, and I suspect that traffic on p5p is not zero.

Is something amiss in the Perl world?
