[thechat] LOTR fan site seeks Perl Hackers

[Terry Fowler]

theonering.net is perhaps *the* LOTR fan site. They've
hosted the post-Oscar party the last two years. If you
have time and desire to do some volunteer work, here's
the pitch:

Does the sight of

$body =~ s/([\s.,(]^|)           
           (http:\/\/|)           
           ([a-z0-9]+\.|)     
           (theonering\.net\S*?)           
           ([.,)]{0,2})(\s|$)           
       /$1<a href="http:\/\/$3$4">$2$3$4<\/a>$5\ /xgi;

give you warm fuzzies? Moreover, can you see what it
might do (and can you spot the potential bug?) If you
can, and if you're looking for a major project this
summer - if you believe that TORn is something more
than just another fansite and want to contribute
something back - then read on...
