Today around 3:35pm, Ajdin Brandic hammered out this masterpiece:
: How are you feeling now? Has your anger gone or is still there?
Tad is feeling fine, I'm sure. Unless he doesn't like your quoting style ;-)
: Why is there a mailing list for perl6 up and running before the version is
: out?
These lists ( perl6-*@perl.org ) have been created to discuss Perl 6'
implementation. These lists are for people interested in the development of
Perl 6. While you may be interested in Perl 6, your question doesn't belong
here. Tad has given you excelent advise. He has given you direction that will
lead you to the problem and solution, no doubt.
: Why is it when you check for perl mailing lists on perl.com only mailing
: lists for perl6 come up?
Again, read Tad's message, he's given you more resources than you need. Realize
that you got help even though you posted to left field ( the wrong place ).
: Thanks
You're welcome, and don't reply on this list.

: Questions about Perl 5 can be asked on a Perl 5 mailing list,
: or on one of the comp.lang.perl.* Usenet newsgroups.
:
: Questions about CGI and web server setup can be asked on newsgroups
: for those topics:
:
: comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi
: comp.infosystems.www.servers.mac
: comp.infosystems.www.servers.misc
: comp.infosystems.www.servers.ms-windows
: comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix
:
:
:
: But Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) can never be asked in any
: of those forums (because they have already been answered, why
: answer them yet again?).
:
: Posting hundred-line programs is also likely to get you ignored.
:
: You can search Perl's FAQs using the 'perldoc' program:
:
: perldoc -q "Server Error"
:
: It finds this one:
:
: "My CGI script runs from the command line but not the
: browser. (500 Server Error)"
:
:
: So your question is off-topic everywhere!
:
: (unless you have done what is suggested there and still have the problem)
:
:
:
: It is obvious that you are completely lost. This is probably due
: to trying to learn many things all at the same time. I suggest
: you slow down, and learn one thing at a time.
:
: This may not be the case for you, but many people try to
: learn all of these at once:
:
: 1) Usenet
:
: see the news.announce.newusers newsgroup to find out
: what is socially acceptable in newsgroups.
:
: Lurk (read, don't post) in the newsgroup for a few days
: before posting (or skim several days worth of posts in
: a news archive such as deja.com).
:
:
: 2) Programming
:
: What is a "loop", "array", ...
:
:
: 3) Perl
:
: Write some programs that run from the *command line* before
: trying to write programs that run in the CGI environment.
:
: Write little programs before trying big programs.
:
:
: 4) CGI
:
: You can write CGI programs in *any language* you like.
: Many people choose to use Perl, but Perl is not
: "wedded" to WWW stuff.
:
: Perl is not CGI. Ask Perl questions in a Perl newsgroup.
: Ask CGI questions in a CGI newsgroup.
:
: Get your CGI programs working from the command line before
: trying them on the web server (this is easy to do if you
: are using the CGI.pm module).
:
: Type:
:
: perldoc -q CGI
:
: to find Perl FAQs that mention CGI. They have lots of pointers
: to information that you will need.
:
:
: If you cannot determine whether you have a "Perl problem" or a
: "CGI problem" then you will have a hard time finding help.
:
:
: If you don't have time to learn all of those things, then you
: will likely need to pay somebody who _has_ learned all of those
: things.
