Changes to perl mailing list

[Daniel Sherer]

Hey everybody,

I just got this message from the main Perl Mongers' administrator:
------------------------------------------------------------------

Our list is (too) low volume, so this probably won't affect us that much, but just in case any of
you have problems, please contact me, directly, at perl at sherer.org


On a happier note, I just got my copy of "Programming Perl" (3rd edition), thanks to Mark who
attended the Perl conference!  I've only read the first chapter, so far, but it seems to be an
improvement over the 2nd edition.  In my opinion, the 2nd edition was much less readable and
enjoyable than the first edition and only really useful as a reference.

Anyone else have any comments?
