Hoi :-). Fast as ever. I considered this but it was declined.
Most of the servers are work-related so i have to use the
authentification method my supervisor appreciates ;-).

Thanks a lot, will grab a snapshot later. I also files a bug
against the gentoo ebuild. Not all dependecies are solved when
getting perlpanel via emerge.

At last a more private question: I plan to travel through England
this spring (two weeks) and i want to see the countryside. Any
special places of interest? I want to visit London one day, will
go to Oxford for a few days and then travel around...

If you know any hints, suggestions or places of interest, please
send me a message :-). Thanks.
