Perl Resources</h2><p><a name="INDEX-11" /><a name="INDEX-12" />Paradoxically,the way in which Perl helps you the most has almost nothing to dowith Perl itself, and everything to do with the people who use Perl.While people start using Perl because they need it, they continueusing Perl because they love it.</p><p>The result is that the Perl community is one of the most helpful inthe world, with CPAN—the Comprehensive Perl ArchiveNetwork—as one example. When Perl programmersaren't writing their own programs, they spend theirtime helping others write theirs. They discuss common problems andhelp devise solutions. They develop utilities and modules for Perland give them away to the world at large.</p><a name="perlnut2-CHP-1-SECT-4.1" /><div class="sect2"><h3 class="sect2">1.4.1. The comp.lang.perl.* Newsgroups</h3><p><a name="INDEX-13" /><a name="INDEX-14" />The central meetingplace for Perl aficionados is Usenet. If you're notfamiliar with Usenet, it's a collection ofspecial-interest groups (called <em class="emphasis">newsgroups</em>) onthe Internet. For most anyone using a modern browser, Usenet accessis as simple as a selecting a menu option on the browser. Perlprogrammers should consider subscribing to the following newsgroups:</p><dl><dt><i><em class="emphasis">comp.lang.perl.announce</em></i></dt><dd>A moderated newsgroup with announcements about new utilities orproducts related to Perl</p></dd><dt><i><em class="emphasis">comp.lang.perl.misc</em></i></dt><dd>The general-purpose newsgroup devoted to non-CGI-related Perlprogramming questions</p></dd><dt><i><em class="emphasis">comp.lang.perl.moderated</em></i></dt><dd>A moderated newsgroup intended to be a forum for more controlled,restrained discussions about Perl</p></dd><dt><i><em class="emphasis">comp.lang.perl.modules</em></i></dt><dd>A newsgroup devoted to using and developing Perl modules</p></dd><dt><i><em class="emphasis">comp.lang.perl.tk</em></i></dt><dd>A newsgroup concentrating on Perl/Tk, the graphical extension to Perl</p></dd><dt><i>comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi</i></dt><dd>A newsgroup for CGI questions in general, but mostly for Perl-relatedquestions</p></dd></dl><p>At some point, it seems like every Perl programmer subscribes to<em class="emphasis">comp.lang.perl.misc</em>. You mayeventually abandon it if the discussion becomes too detailed, toobelligerent, or too bizarre for your taste. Butyou'll likely find yourself coming back from time totime, either to ask a question or just to check out the latest buzz.</p><p>One bit of advice, however: before posting questions to <em class="emphasis">comp.lang.perl.misc</em> (or any newsgroup, forthat matter), you should read the group for a few days and read theFAQ (see <a href="ch01_04.htm#perlnut2-CHP-1-SECT-4.2">Section 1.4.2, "Frequently Asked Questions Lists (FAQs)"</a>). The<em class="emphasis">comp.lang.perl.*</em> newsgroups are awonderful resource if you have an interesting or unusual question,but no one can save you if you ask something that'scovered in the FAQ.</p><p>By the way, if you're a first-time poster to<em class="emphasis">comp.lang.perl.misc</em>, youshouldn't be surprised if you receive an emailmessage listing various resources on Perl that you may not knowabout. This is done via an"auto-faq" service, which scans allpostings and sends this helpful email to anyone whohasn't posted earlier.</p></div><a name="perlnut2-CHP-1-SECT-4.2" /><div class="sect2"><h3 class="sect2">1.4.2. Frequently Asked Questions Lists (FAQs)</h3><p><a name="INDEX-15" />A FAQ isa Frequently Asked Questions list, with answers. FAQs aretraditionally associated with Usenet newsgroups, but the term hassince been adopted by web sites, technical support departments, andeven health care pamphlets. In general, FAQs are written andmaintained on a volunteer basis by dedicated (and generous) membersof the community. The Perl FAQ is maintained by Tom Christiansen andNathan Torkington.</p><p>The Perl FAQ was created to minimize traffic on the <em class="emphasis">comp.lang.perl.misc</em> newsgroup when it becameclear that the same questions were being asked over and over again.However, the FAQ has transcended into a general-purpose startingpoint for learning anything about Perl.</p><p>The FAQ is distributed in several different formats, including HTML,PostScript, and plain ASCII text. The main FAQ source is located at<a href="http://www.perl.com/pub/q/faqs">http://www.perl.com/pub/q/faqs</a>.You can also find it at <a href="http://perlfaq.cpan.org/">http://perlfaq.cpan.org/</a>, and the latestversion of the FAQ is posted on a semi-regular basis on <em class="emphasis">comp.lang.perl.misc</em>.</p><p>In addition to the general Perl FAQ, there are also several nicheFAQs that are Perl-related. They are:</p><dl><dt><i>Perl CGI Programming FAQ</i></dt><dd><a href="http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/doc/FAQs/cgi/perl-cgi-faq.html">http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/doc/FAQs/cgi/perl-cgi-faq.html</a></p></dd><dt><i>Perl/Tk FAQ</i></dt><dd><a href="http://w4.lns.cornell.edu/~pvhp/ptk/ptkTOC.html">http://w4.lns.cornell.edu/~pvhp/ptk/ptkTOC.html</a></p></dd><dt><i>Perl for Win32 FAQ</i></dt><dd><a href="http://www.ActiveState.com/support/faqs/win32/">http://www.ActiveState.com/support/faqs/win32/</a></p></dd><dt><i>Perl for the Mac FAQ</i></dt><dd><a href="http://www.perl.com/CPAN/doc/FAQs/mac/MacPerlFAQ.html">http://www.perl.com/CPAN/doc/FAQs/mac/MacPerlFAQ.html</a></p></dd></dl><p>By no means should you consider this to be an exhaustive list. Alsocheck out appropriate mailing lists (see <a href="ch01_04.htm#perlnut2-CHP-1-SECT-4.3">Section 1.4.3, "Mailing Lists"</a>);you'll find that many mailing lists also maintaintheir own FAQs.</p></div>⌨️ 快捷键说明
