First of all, I am not going into how braindead and clueless someone must
be who develops software and comes up with a shitty story like "My machine
crashed".

Why the venom, were you looking for his life story?

par.perl.org, I mean, not some home page at geocities. There was a wiki and
a lot of info. Gone? To me that looks extremely stupid to say the least.

Maybe you know something I don't (which is entirely possible), but how do
you know it's all gone? Catastrophic hardware failures do happen. The
company I recently left lost their entire mail server raid array one
weekend. Shit happens. If you're complaining that it wasn't instantly put
back up online, I imagine it's because no one is being paid to keep it
online (plus I'm sure it will take some time to reconfigure the applications
and get the data back up).

Considering that you seem to need this information quite badly, I can't help
but remark again that it's rather unfair of you to call the person who has
been maintaining the site for you all this time braindead because it went
down. You're not entitled to anything on the internet, after all.

Anyway: http://web.archive.org/web/20041012035744/par.perl.org/index.cgi
seems to be *the* place for PAR right now?

You can use the wayback machine to browse defunct web sites:

Here is the par site:

"but data previously stored here may be gone permanently."

Don't you think that restoring a back up is less work compared to
writing such a message?

Sure, that's why I make back ups.

It was a wiki. I consider it quite braindead if you manage to "may" lose
data created online by several people.

If it was a homepage @ geocities, ok. But a part of perl.org, no way,
IMO that is.
