The code this site works on is a work-in-progress. It is based on the old Everydevel code which powers sites like Perlmonks and Everything2. But that code is very old - very Web 1.0 - and needs updating.
Normally, the updates go smoothly and the site is only down for seconds or minutes at most.
This update was a SNAFU. It was more complicated than most as it involved changing the basis of the class system used for objects, by moving over the the cutting edge of Perl technology: Moose .
But this showed up some design problems in the code which I had to resolve before I could get it back up again.
Anyway, back now!
