New D.I.C Head Joined: 26 Apr, 2009 Posts: 13 My Contributions	I was intially going to ask Kevin 'what other forums' as a reply. Then I thought it best to create a new topic inquiry. I am not looking for personal sites, per se, but what are some good forums/sites regarding Perl. I found this one, via facebook and I enjoy looking at other inquiries/answers to give me additional ideas. I know of .. dreamincode.net (this one) PerlMonks.org CPAN.org perl.com pm.org -> (Perl Mongers) There may be that gem of an unknown site out there. Edit: I just found this one as well. http://www.rocketaware.com/perl/ This post has been edited by mcwolf: 22 May, 2009 - 06:18 AM

The posts found there cover a lot of really deep magic, the latest news from the Perl 6 developers, and the like, but there's also a fair bit of more basic information as well. As far as discussion sites, PerlMonks.org really is the place to go. Excellent bunch of folks there, including most of the biggest-name and most-talented people in the Perl community, and all very helpful (provided you're willing to at least put in a little effort on your own before asking your question).

Thanks dsherohman. I added it to my list to look at. I had a sly reason mentioning no personal sites. I wanted to convey, my interest wasn't to promote one of my sites. However, if there is a personal one out there with information, I would like to know about it. Most I have discussed with so far, are stating Perl is the most documented language out there. However, I am also seeing alot of verbatim information in many sites.

Most I have discussed with so far, are stating Perl is the most documented language out there. However, I am also seeing alot of verbatim information in many sites. Interesting... Considering the amount of "Perl is a write-only language" FUD out there, I would expect most people to be claiming that it's completely undocumented. I'm happy to see that I'm wrong about that. The culture of documentation surrounding CPAN (I don't think it's a formal requirement, but pretty much every module on CPAN includes at least basic POD documentation) really helps a lot. You're right, though, that a huge proportion of the available online Perl documentation is just a zillion people posting the same perldoc pages. Changing that by getting people blogging about what they're doing with Perl (and how they're doing it) is one of the goals behind EPO Iron Man, but that only just started about a month ago, so we'll have to wait and see how much of an effect it ends up having.
