Re: Perl

[Bradley Hook <bhook@kssb.net>]

You would be better off in IRC for quick questions. These mailing lists 
go to a lot of people, so lots of small beginner questions that aren't 
exactly on topic (this isn't a PERL list) will just annoy people. In IRC 
you will likely get a faster response, and thousands of people will be 
spared the 20+ emails that have been generated from your discussion so far.

I would recommend EFNet or Freenode, as I've found lots of helpful folks 
on those networks.
