BTW, Allan I've renamed it to class="toc" we know that <ul> is a list,
no need for redundancy IMHO.

I agree with Per Einar, which is what I commented originally about all the different link styles. It's not a big issue, but it's odd having all those underlined links in a row. (underline on hover is middle ground?)
But those are easy, last minute tweaks for later, if needed.

I think the point is that not in what are our private preferences are.
It's about deciding what's good for the average user.
It's a know fact that all usability consultants preach that the sites
shouldn't change the expected behavior to make it easier on the user.
That means underlined links, blue color for the links, redish for the
visited links.
We try to follow this rule with a few exceptions where we think the
underlining adds too much noise and it's absolutely clear that the menu
is comprised of links. So it's easy with the menu.
Now the TOC part is harder, since it's not clear that TOC is a clickable
menu, but you learn that fast.
So far so good. The rest of the elements which aren't "menus" should
have the default behaviour. It made sense to have no-underline for
index.html items when they had no description. Now when the description
is in place the underlining is more importants, since not everything is
a link (think of color blind people). Sure people can learn after a
while that index.html's items always start with links, but that's much
harder when the links are mixed with non links (and it doesn't work for
everybody, think color-blind again).
If you think this logic is wrong, please explain why and then we can
re-consider. If someones doesn't participate in the discussions, it's
obvious that his opinion won't be heard by others, and the decisions are
made based on the opinions of the others...
argh, sometimes I talk too much, and it's late... i should stop talking,
going to sleep... :)

Hmm, I missed that part :(
Well, I think it looked better before. A lot cleaner in my opinion. But if
you prefer it as it is now, I won't complain about it.

Well, we Allan suggested this change, I've agreed with Allan, nobody
said otherwise, the change went it. What's wrong with index.html pages
having their items underlined?

Opera 6, Ie 6 and Mozilla 0.9.9 on Windows. I'd say that this can't really
be related to the browser.

Don't misunderstand: when i said TOC I meant the list of links on the front
page etc. have you checked the front page on perl.apache.org?
These lists aren't generated with <ul> but with various <dl> inside a <div
class="toc">. I guess this was forgotten.
