Maybe because it is several years out of date and you should look at it
anymore. :)

That colour scheme is not as bad as the one on cpanforum.com: blue on
grey, with red and yellow highlights??? Aaargh! Another dreadful design
is the one on perlmonks.org, whose colours come out fairly normal but
which guarantees to make every single font the wrong size.

A useful trick for browsing the WWW, if you have Firefox, is

View -> Page Style -> No Style

It works on removing Larry Wall's hideous colour scheme, and on
cpanforum.com, but it doesn't help much with perlmonks.org.

On http://www.wall.org/~larry/ he explains it, right beside his pictures
(and in the 'Web and CGI' part). What else is there to say? ;)

The background color of the web page in the latter link is #e8ff00.
They are similar but different.
