[CLUE-Tech] Perl

[Robert L. Harris]

There are a couple perl mailing lists that are local.  BPM (Boulder
Perl Mongers) and PPPM (Pikes Peak Perl Mongers).

Both of these are very low traffic and not many bad attitudes, though
not always much help due to lack of membership I think.


Thus spake Jed S. Baer (thag at frii.com):

There is already a local Perl list, Boulder area anyway, and there is
basically no traffic.  Last I checked you'd subscribe by sending the
message

   subscribe boulder-pm-list

to <majordomo at happyfunball.pm.org>.

One problem with doing that is that if one of the CDs gets lost or damaged,
you can't retrieve anything on the later CDs...

The exercise of writing a Python program to do the above, but re-starting
the compression when your data gets up to the limit is left as an exercise
to the reader.  ;-)
