  Modified:    .        perlfaq1.pod perlfaq2.pod perlfaq3.pod perlfaq4.pod
  Log:
  * updated the links I listed below.  Most were simply at new
  locations.  We should prefer perl.org links over perl.com, since
  the perl.org links seem to move less frewuently.
  
  * I only removed the link for "The Object System".  I couldn't
  find anything recent about it (other than its mention in perlfaq3).
