Mailing Lists
Table of Contents
Overview
An electronic mailing list is a way to send E-mail messages to several people using a single, convenient, E-mail address. One can subscribe to a mailing list to receive messages that the other people have sent. More information can be found in the wikipedia page.
Otherwise, you may consider joining one of the mailing lists listed here, which have a more international focus.

You can try to subscribe to a local Perl Mongers mailing list as a good venue to ask any perl questions including beginners one. Refer to the Perl Mongers International homepage for a list of them.
