SPUG: Re: ActiveState

[Richard Anderson]

Brian, if your joining ActiveState, maybe you can get them to stabilize and
rationalize their web page
(http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/).  My two main whines:

1. They use frames in such a way that I can't bookmark many of their pages.
This is not a problem with frames, it's a problem with incompetent web
authors.  For an example of the right way to do frames, see my home page:
www.zipcon.net/~starfire/home

2. They keep reorganizing the web site and don't bother to leave forwarding
pages at the defunct URL.  It doesn't take much effort to do this.
