Is comp.lang.perl dead?

[Danny Gratzer]

I'm looking at comp.lang.perl and it doesn't seem like it's had new posts
in well, years. Is it dead? If so are there any other good perl groups
you'd recommend?

I believe comp.lang.perl.misc is the more active group -
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/comp.lang.perl.misc .
Last post was 4 minutes ago. Not sure I can recommend it, because I'm
not reading it too much (nor do I read Usenet a lot in general).

For more options for formats of Perl-related forums, see
http://perl-begin.org/ .

Larry Wall can understand the Perl code he wrote last year.

Perl has so long history so it has many lists for special fields rather
than a main one. You may see:

It died in 1995.

i thought usenet died in '96? i got a news reader up the other day,
went through some feeds and haven't opened it sense.

Usenet is alive and very well, even if you chose to ignore the alt.binaries.* groups. While the comp.sources.* groups have been superseded by live SCM servers and sites like Sourceforge, many of the discussion groups are still very active. I am using Astraweb <http://astraweb.com/> which has more than four years of retention on most groups. Plans are priced by your choice of bandwidth or volume.

It died just like a website dies when you stop visiting it.
