UK hosted Perl documentation site

Recently had a problem accessing perldoc.perl.org and decided it was time to dust off my idea for creating a Perl documentation site a little closer to home.

So I have now set up perldoc.co.uk, which is similar to perldoc.perl.org, but hosted on a UK-based server. So for UK and other European users, this should result in lower round trip times.

It's currently a work in progress, with various things not quite right. For example it currently shows the documentation only for the distro Perl (currently Perl 5.10.1 from Ubuntu 10.04 LTS).

IPv6 heads will be pleased to hear that the site is enabled for IPv6.
