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. The following are a list of mailing lists related to perl itself. Make sure you read the note at bottom of this question before subscribing to anything.

MacPerl
There is a mailing list for discussing Macintosh Perl. Contact ``mac-perl-request@iis.ee.ethz.ch''.

Also see Matthias Neeracher's (the creator and maintainer of MacPerl) webpage at http://www.iis.ee.ethz.ch/~neeri/macintosh/perl.html for many links to interesting MacPerl sites, and the applications/MPW tools, precompiled.

Perl5-Porters
The core development team have a mailing list for discussing fixes and changes to the language. Send mail to ``perl5-porters-request@perl.org'' with help in the body of the message for information on subscribing.

NTPerl
This list is used to discuss issues involving Windows NT and Perl 5. Subscribe by emailing Majordomo@mail.hip.com with 

	subscribe ntperl

The list software, also written in perl, will automatically determine your address, and subscribe you automatically. To unsubscribe, simple prepend the same command with an ``un'', and mail to the same address like so: 

	unsubscribe ntperl

Perl-Packrats
Discussion related to archiving of perl materials, particularly the Comprehensive PerlArchive Network (CPAN). Subscribe by emailing majordomo@cis.ufl.edu: 

	subscribe perl-packrats

The list software, also written in perl, will automatically determine your address, and subscribe you automatically. To unsubscribe, simple prepend the same command with an ``un'', and mail to the same address like so: 

	unsubscribe perl-packrats

If you subscribe to a mailing list, it behooves you to know how to unsubscribe from it. Strident pleas to the list itself to get you off will not be favorably received.
