=head2 Perl in Magazines

The first and only periodical devoted to All Things Perl, I<The
Perl Journal> contained tutorials, demonstrations, case studies,
announcements, contests, and much more.  I<TPJ> had columns on web
development, databases, Win32 Perl, graphical programming, regular
expressions, and networking, and sponsored the Obfuscated Perl
Contest. Sadly, this publication is no longer in circulation, but
should it be resurrected, it will most likely be announced on
http://use.perl.org/ .

Beyond this, magazines that frequently carry high-quality articles
on Perl are I<Web Techniques> (see http://www.webtechniques.com/),
I<Performance Computing> (http://www.performance-computing.com/), and Usenix's
newsletter/magazine to its members, I<login:>, at http://www.usenix.org/.
Randal's Web Technique's columns are available on the web at
http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/WebTechniques/ .

=head2 Perl on the Net: FTP and WWW Access

To get the best performance, pick a site from
the list below and use it to grab the complete list of mirror sites
which is at /CPAN/MIRRORED.BY or at http://mirror.cpan.org/.
From there you can find the quickest site for you.  Remember, the
following list is I<not> the complete list of CPAN mirrors
(the complete list contains 165 sites as of January 2001):

  http://www.cpan.org/
  http://www.perl.com/CPAN/
  http://download.sourceforge.net/mirrors/CPAN/
  ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/plan/perl/CPAN/
  ftp://ftp.flirble.org/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/
  ftp://ftp.uvsq.fr/pub/perl/CPAN/
  ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/
  ftp://ftp.dti.ad.jp/pub/lang/CPAN/
  ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/perl/CPAN/
  ftp://cpan.if.usp.br/pub/mirror/CPAN/

One may also use xx.cpan.org where "xx" is the 2-letter country code
for your domain; e.g. Australia would use au.cpan.org.

=head2 What mailing lists are there for Perl?

Most of the major modules (Tk, CGI, libwww-perl) have their own
mailing lists.  Consult the documentation that came with the module for
subscription information.

	http://lists.cpan.org/	

=head2 Archives of comp.lang.perl.misc

Have you tried Deja or AltaVista?  Those are the
best archives.  Just look up "*perl*" as a newsgroup.

    http://www.deja.com/dnquery.xp?QRY=&DBS=2&ST=PS&defaultOp=AND&LNG=ALL&format=terse&showsort=date&maxhits=25&subjects=&groups=*perl*&authors=&fromdate=&todate=

You might want to trim that down a bit, though.

You'll probably want more a sophisticated query and retrieval mechanism
than a file listing, preferably one that allows you to retrieve
articles using a fast-access indices, keyed on at least author, date,
subject, thread (as in "trn") and probably keywords.  The best
solution the FAQ authors know of is the MH pick command, but it is
very slow to select on 18000 articles.

If you have, or know where can be found, the missing sections, please
let [e-mail] know.

=head2 Where can I buy a commercial version of Perl?

In a real sense, Perl already I<is> commercial software: it has a license
that you can grab and carefully read to your manager. It is distributed
in releases and comes in well-defined packages. There is a very large
user community and an extensive literature.  The comp.lang.perl.*
newsgroups and several of the mailing lists provide free answers to your
questions in near real-time.  Perl has traditionally been supported by
Larry, scores of software designers and developers, and myriads of
programmers, all working for free to create a useful thing to make life
better for everyone.

However, these answers may not suffice for managers who require a
purchase order from a company whom they can sue should anything go awry.
Or maybe they need very serious hand-holding and contractual obligations.
Shrink-wrapped CDs with Perl on them are available from several sources if
that will help.  For example, many Perl books include a distribution of Perl,
as do the O'Reilly Perl Resource Kits (in both the Unix flavor
and in the proprietary Microsoft flavor); the free Unix distributions
also all come with Perl.

Alternatively, you can purchase commercial incidence based support
through the Perl Clinic.  The following is a commercial from them:

"The Perl Clinic is a commercial Perl support service operated by
ActiveState Tool Corp. and The Ingram Group.  The operators have many
years of in-depth experience with Perl applications and Perl internals
on a wide range of platforms.

"Through our group of highly experienced and well-trained support engineers,
we will put our best effort into understanding your problem, providing an
explanation of the situation, and a recommendation on how to proceed."

Contact The Perl Clinic at

    www.PerlClinic.com

See also www.perl.com for updates on tutorials, training, and support.

=head2 Where do I send bug reports?

If you are reporting a bug in the perl interpreter or the modules
shipped with Perl, use the I<perlbug> program in the Perl distribution or
mail your report to [e-mail] .

If you are posting a bug with a non-standard port (see the answer to
"What platforms is Perl available for?"), a binary distribution, or a
non-standard module (such as Tk, CGI, etc), then please see the
documentation that came with it to determine the correct place to post
bugs.

Read the perlbug(1) man page (perl5.004 or later) for more information.

=head2 What is perl.com? Perl Mongers? pm.org? perl.org?

The Perl Home Page at http://www.perl.com/ is currently hosted on a
T3 line courtesy of Songline Systems, a software-oriented subsidiary of
O'Reilly and Associates. Other starting points include

    http://language.perl.com/
    http://conference.perl.com/
    http://reference.perl.com/

Perl Mongers is an advocacy organization for the Perl language which
maintains the web site http://www.perl.org/ as a general advocacy
site for the Perl language.

Perl Mongers uses the pm.org domain for services related to Perl user
groups, including the hosting of mailing lists and web sites.  See the
Perl user group web site at http://www.pm.org/ for more information about
joining, starting, or requesting services for a Perl user group.

Perl Mongers also maintain the perl.org domain to provide general
support services to the Perl community, including the hosting of mailing
lists, web sites, and other services.  The web site
http://www.perl.org/ is a general advocacy site for the Perl language,
and there are many other sub-domains for special topics, such as

    http://bugs.perl.org/
    http://history.perl.org/
    http://lists.perl.org/
    http://news.perl.org/
    http://use.perl.org/
