This is first and foremost a mailing list. However, perl.org which hosts this and many other mailing lists also has an NNTP server (nntp.perl.org) which mirrors most of its mailing lists. As a consequence of this, other NNTP servers have mirrored these mailing lists as well, some of which may be read-only.
