&lt;p&gt;Hi Folks&lt;BR&gt;
I just received the following message from Paul Marquess, developer of DB_File and BerkeleyDB. There's a proposal for a news group for BerkeleyDB and all things related, like the Perl modules. If you're interested in the group, please look into the ongoing RFD.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;i&gt;
Hi,
&lt;p&gt;
at some time in the past few months you have contacted me regarding either/both of my Perl modules, namely DB_File and BerkeleyDB. &amp;nbsp; If you aren't interested in these modules any more, accept my apologies for this mail.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
Assuming you are still interested, there is a proposal for the creation of a new Usenet newsgroup called comp.databases.berkeley-db. &amp;nbsp; It's remit is to allow discussion of all things related to Berkeley DB, including the Perl interfaces. &amp;nbsp; At the moment the proposal is at the RFD (Request for Discussion) stage. &amp;nbsp; The RFD is available &lt;A Href="http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?&amp;selm=3eafa412%240%2429710%24ed9e5944%40reading.news.pipex.net"&gt;here&lt;/A&gt;. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
I think this newsgroup would be of real use to the Perl community. &amp;nbsp; Although I don't mind getting mail directly about my Perl modules, I don't always have the time to respond as quickly as I would like. &amp;nbsp; This new newsgroup would help fill that gap.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
If you are interested, please consider commenting on the comp.databases.berkeley-db thread in the news.groups newsgroup.
&lt;/p&gt;
cheers&lt;br /&gt;
Paul Marquess
&lt;/i&gt;
