Perl doesn't have a case statement, you syntactically insensitive clod.
Perl 5.10 does have given/when, though. Smartmatch FTW.
Actually there is a procedure for taking over CPAN modules for which the original maintainer won't respond (or is dead, etc.) And if the original maintainer is responsive, but just no longer interested or too busy, they can add you as co-maintainer or transfer the distribution to you directly.

The failure described by the article affected one availability zone out of seven in the EC2 cloud. Anybody who built their application redundantly across multiple zones would not have been affected by the outage.
Only one of Amazon's two zones went down
There are two regions (US and EU) each with several availability zones (US currently has four.) The AZ's are designed to be isolated from one another. This outage affected one AZ in the US region.
If you are doing load balancing across instances in multiple AZ's (or even using Amazon's own Elastic Load Balancing and Auto-Scaling features) you would have been fine, since this is exactly the kind of problem they're designed to handle.
Soy milk? I thought you were against torture.
