Hi. Since there hasn't been any activity on this issue in a couple days I hope you don't mind that I submitted a pull request! 😛

Didn't know if there was a specific URL that you all had in mind to replace the dead links, but I was able to find the same archive (I think) at https://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/.

@starkej2 The messages in your changes to www.nntp.perl.org don't seem to be the right messages. The numbering scheme in the two repositories don't seem to be the same.

For example: In _content/legacy/pub_1999_10_p5pdigest_THISWEEK-19991024.md

Hey, no problem. You should see the huge mess-ups I made when converting everything to Hugo short codes :)

This looks tricky. For example this dead link:

http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2001-08/msg00615.html

Can be converted to

https://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2001/08/msg00615.html

But www.nntp.perl.org returns a 301 to this location:

https://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/1999/09/msg615.html

Which is a different message. It appears that nntp.perl.org ignores the date and uses the message number as a unique integer to determine the URI path. The correct URL seems to be:

https://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2001/08/msg41757.html

Which is very different!

I wonder if it is the 615th message on the mailing list from 2001/08. There doesn't seem to be any text or HTML code which indicates msg41757.html used to be called msg00615.html.

These alternative porter mailing archives don't support the old message date & number format either:

Perhaps www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/ has an API we can query. Or maybe we just need to download all messages in sequence by date and month to map the old ids to the new ones.
