This is a Usenet newsgroup. perl.beginners is a mailing list. Go to
this URL to subscribe:

http://lists.cpan.org/showlist.cgi?name=beginners

perl.beginners is not a newsgroup, it is a mailing list (with, perhaps,
a mail-to-news gateway?).

You will need to ask your ISP how to treat it as a newsgroup,
or use it in a mailing list fashion.

perl.beginners is bidirectionally gatewayed to a newsgroup, I access it
and all the perl.org mailing lists thus. The NNTP server is
nntp,perl.org; see http://www.nntp.perl.org/about/ . An ISP isn't likely
to know this.
