They should get a lot more credit for this. Linkrot sucks, and I'm sure the effort that was required to pull off maintaining those links is going to pay off greatly for many for years to come.
- djsumdog 8y agoI concur. Rewrite rules for projects like this can get super crazy. Kudos to the devs/admins/community who put in the effort.

- haarg 8y agoIt has been maintained by MetaCPAN people. Since this transition has been planned, extra work has been put it to make the redirects more comprehensive.
