I'd like to formally announce #news on irc.perl.org. It's be up and running for awhile, but after YAPC::NA 2006, I replaced all my code with
plagger and a yaml config file.
Currently rssbot watchings the following Perl sites and notfies the channel with updates
- CPAN (search.cpan.org rss not pause uploads)
- AnnoCPAN
- CPAN Ratings
- use Perl
- use Perl Journals

- Perl Jobs
- The Perl Foundation
- The Perl Foundation News (Moveable Type - Steering Committe Blog)
- Perl.com
- The Perl NOC
- Perlcast
- The Perl Summer of Code 2006
