"If the only tool(forum) you know is a hammer(PerlMonks), every problem(question) looks like a nail(SoPW post)"
...OR..."fora and fauna"
disclaimers:
- 'most anything perlish is accepted and welcome here at Our Fine Monastery
- I'm not complaining...
- nor proposing site change...
- nor fomenting mass monasterial desertion...
- rather, hoping to expand folks' horizons a bit (starting with my own)
with that said, I'll get right to the point*:
- our beloved perlmonks.org isn't the only good online Perl resource around
- some questions might be optimally asked elsewhere
- some discussions might be optimally held elsewhere
google for perl forums(fora?):
you can read/search/post-to these newsgroups all from the comfort of your browser:comp.lang.perland I quote, "Dead, dead, dead"- comp.lang.perl.announce
- comp.lang.perl.misc
- comp.lang.perl.moderated
- comp.lang.perl.modules
- comp.lang.perl.tk
perl mailing lists are plentiful plus archived at CPAN:
jasmine Jazz runs a solid-looking ubb gossamer threads perl forum:
not to mention the-not-necessarily-forummy info/resources at:
- Outside Links by neophyte
- How to RTFM by Masem
- your local perldoc</tilly>
Hrm... how did I forget this'un?
wrap up with a question:
- What other Perl fora do you frequent?
- What's your criteria for ask/tell/announce somewhere outside these fair walls?
