Mailing Lists

Overview

Generally, your local Perl Mongers mailing list is considered a good place to ask any perl questions including beginners one. Refer to the Perl Mongers International homepage for a list of them. If you can't find one in your area, then any PM list you join will be OK, as its members will accept you there. Perl Mongers are united world-wide in their love for Perl and their burning desire to get more people to know it and use it as well.

Otherwise, you may consider joining one of the mailing lists listed here, which have a more international focus.
