No, this list isn't dead, but it seems to be rather dormant.
[and as I'm no longer in Newcastle I don't check it that often]

I'm Nick, I live in London (again) now, which is very inconvenient for
Tyneside.

> PS Quick techie question (its obligatory on these sorts of lists).. Is there *any* way to get a non-blocking socket using Win32/ActiveState Perl? fnctl()'s O_NONBLOCK, and F_NDELAY things haven't been implemented, I'm at a loss with ioctl() and I can't find a jot of documentation about setsocketopt() (or whatever its called..). Help? (The obvious answer of 'Don't use Win32' would be good, but I want cross platform. Don't mind having two versions, but it needs to work.)

I'm sorry - I really don't know, as I don't use Win32.
