CPAN recent upload feed
May 22, 2009
The CPAN upload RSS feed I subscribe to has been a bit quiet lately showing no uploads at this moment? This is a bit unusual because module uploads are normally constantly flowing onto CPAN.
So i checked my Google Reader settings and it had this strange RSS address…
http://unknownplace.org/cpanrecent/rss
Where did I get this from? Or did Google Reader insert this in at some point?? All very strange???
The site in question says its down for maintenance. Anyway I’ve updated my settings to use search.cpan.org RSS feed at….
Which translates into this feed….
http://search.cpan.org/uploads.rdf
Now happily seeing new uploads to CPAN š

transfixed but not dead! 
The feed at unknownplace.org is a custom feed that inlined data from the changelog corresponding to the version released to CPAN (when available). I really loved that feature because it gave me a quick overview of what was new with the release without having to go into search.cpan. I hope it returns soon.
Yes I’m missing that inlined changelog now that I’m looking at the search.cpan.org feed ;-(
Many thanks for the heads up. Hopefully unknownplace.org will come back sooner rather than later.

I built a cool CPAN service ā http://cpan.perlrussia.org/ š
There are a lot of RSS by country and by author.
Hi,
I’m maintainer of unknownplace.org. This site is down due to my house moving.
It will available again at 4th, June.
Thank you for your patient.
@sharifulin: Excellent stuff. Think we need an Acme::CPANAuthors::British (or perhaps English|Scottish|Welsh|Northern Irish|Irish) module to add to this!
@typester: Now I know where I got the link from because I follow you on GitHub (http://github.com/typester) š All the best with the house move and look forward to seeing unknownplace.org up again soon.
