The URI module took a short holiday, but quickly returned. Just for giggles, I'd like to see everyone react (positivily) to u/oalders in the Github issue:

  • Can we get 100 reactions?
  • Can we get all the reactions (so, thumbs down is really just for completeness)
  • Can we star the heck out of the libperl-www repo?

There are people who take care of things so most people never notice when something goes wrong, and from the time I reported this to resolution was three hours (although the issue was already known, I think). That's some pretty good support right there, and we should fête over that.

For what it's worth, GitHub pays attention to these things. When I filed an issue about getting them to think about putting Perl in their Advisory Database, the number of reactions that issue got made them think about it (right now it's a whole process with scheduling dev time, etc). One of the ways to show that Perl is alive is to react to Perl things (um, that deserve it, not bot spam!).
