Current Perl documentation can be found at perldoc.perl.org.

Here is our local, out-dated (pre-5.6) version:

Most of the major modules (tk, CGI, libwww-perl) have their own mailing lists. Consult the documentation that came with the module for subscription information. The following are a list of mailing lists related to perl itself.

If you subscribe to a mailing list, it behooves you to know how to unsubscribe from it. Strident pleas to the list itself to get you off will not be favorably received.

MacPerl

There is a mailing list for discussing Macintosh Perl. Contact ``mac-perl-request@iis.ee.ethz.ch''.

Also see Matthias Neeracher's (the creator and maintainer of MacPerl) webpage at http://www.iis.ee.ethz.ch/~neeri/macintosh/perl.html for many links to interesting MacPerl sites, and the applications/MPW tools, precompiled.

Perl5-Porters

The core development team have a mailing list for discussing fixes and changes to the language. Send mail to ``perl5-porters-request@perl.org'' with help in the body of the message for information on subscribing.

NTPerl

This list is used to discuss issues involving Win32 Perl 5 (Windows NT and Win95). Subscribe by mailing ListManager@ActiveWare.com with the message body:

    subscribe Perl-Win32-Users

The list software, also written in perl, will automatically determine your address, and subscribe you automatically. To unsubscribe, mail the following in the message body to the same address like so:

    unsubscribe Perl-Win32-Users

You can also check http://www.activeware.com/ and select ``Mailing Lists'' to join or leave this list.

Perl-Packrats

Discussion related to archiving of perl materials, particularly the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN). Subscribe by emailing majordomo@cis.ufl.edu:

    subscribe perl-packrats

The list software, also written in perl, will automatically determine your address, and subscribe you automatically. To unsubscribe, simple prepend the same command with an ``un'', and mail to the same address like so:

    unsubscribe perl-packrats
