PLDog is a site for discussing articles and websites about programming languages and systems.

PLDog membership is generally granted via invitation by current PLDog members; if you'd like to register, send me an email (aj at newsdog dot info) with the username you'd like, and some information about yourself and your PL background. I'll provide you with a temporary password that you can change once you log in. Usernames are displayed case-sensitively but logins are not. So if you'd like your name to be displayed as 'Bongo', choose 'Bongo' as your username; you can still log in with 'bongo'. Email addresses will only be displayed to other registered users. Passwords are encrypted both on the server and in the cookie on your computer (if you choose to stay logged in) so that neither I nor anyone else can see them.

To protect the privacy of PLDog users, their comments on posted articles are only visible to other PLDog users.

PLDog was written entirely in Perl. No images were harmed in the making of the site. MySQL is the back-end database.

If you are interested in using this code for a site of your own, please contact me.
