>2.9: What are the Perl newsgroups on Usenet? Where do I post questions?
>
> Several groups devoted to the Perl language are on Usenet:
>
> comp.lang.perl.announce Moderated announcement group
> comp.lang.perl.misc High traffic general Perl discussion
> comp.lang.perl.moderated Moderated discussion group
> comp.lang.perl.modules Use and development of Perl modules
> comp.lang.perl.tk Using Tk (and X) from Perl
>
> comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi Writing CGI scripts for the Web.
>
> Some years ago, comp.lang.perl was divided into those groups, and
> comp.lang.perl itself officially removed. While that group may still be
> found on some news servers, it is unwise to use it, because postings
> there will not appear on news servers which honour the official list of
> group names. Use comp.lang.perl.misc for topics which do not have a
> more-appropriate specific group.
>
> There is also a Usenet gateway to Perl mailing lists sponsored by
> perl.org at nntp://nntp.perl.org , a web interface to the same lists at
> http://nntp.perl.org/group/ and these lists are also available under the
>
> A nice place to ask questions is the PerlMonks site,
> http://www.perlmonks.org/ , or the Perl Beginners mailing list
> http://lists.perl.org/showlist.cgi?name=beginners .

> Note that none of the above are supposed to write your code for you:
> asking questions about particular problems or general advice is fine,
> but asking someone to write your code for free is not very cool.

According to GOOGLE, aside from some spam in 2007, the last message in
c.i.w.a.c was late in 2006. Seems to be dead!
