Welcome to the Fidonet Perl echo.  This echo is provided via the 
Fidonet backbone as a  place  for  users to discuss perl programming.  

any of the following is on topic:

- perl on any platform, perl for isapi, perlscript, perl/tk
- other scripting languages: python, rebol, bash, tcl/tk
- utilities that complement the above
- books that complement the above
- announcements that complement the above

these are specifically OFF TOPIC:

- discussions of software/hardware hacking and pirating
- discussions of writing viruses, trojan horses, ansi bombs
- posting any material related to the above. \
- scripting languages that have their own echo (eg, REXX, dos batch)
- BBS ads

   Flames are absolutely not allowed.  If you have to be rude, then 
use NETMAIL or a private local echo.

   Please leave moderating to the  moderator.   It is my job to deal
with off-topic posts, flames, and spammers.  By posting  replies  to
off-topic  messages, one only makes the matter worse.  Discussion of
moderator decisions  is  OFF  TOPIC.   If  you  are  concerned about
something that is happening in  the  echo,  please  use  NETMAIL  to
discuss  this  with  the moderator.  The moderator can be reached at
the address in the origin line below.

   Aliases are not permitted.  If you have an alias in your From: line 
then you must sign your message with your real name.

   Messages promoting other nets are not  to be posted in this echo.
Please use the OTHERNETS echo if you wish to talk about  a  non-FIDO
net network.

   Nodes planning to use robots or automatic systems to post messages 
must first get clearance from the moderator.

   Sending a message from a banned user will also result in the 
message sender being banned. 

   This is a programming echo.   Let's  keep  it on topic.  If your
message is of a private nature, you might consider using NETMAIL  or
a private local echo.  

These rules will be posted on the first of every month.

The  vented  spleen  perl  archive liststing will also be posted the
first of every month.

My perl archive is available at 1:249/139 for freq or download
