Mailing lists or resources for admin of perl on windows?

blueAdept has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all. On windows for a while now I've built perl myself and built/installed modules as needed.. I often find/have trivial questions when I'm doing different things. The most wrestling question I have is where to take these questions to? If I want to relate/seek help with an experience I have perhaps building & installing a particular module - where might I take that question to? Or to discuss building/installing/distributing perl on windows? What settings others are using to build it, etc?

I'm a mailing list junkie. I've browsed the lists listed on perl.org, done some searches. My questions usually aren't anything stellar, so the porters list is out. My questions aren't related to the ActivePerl dist, thus I stay away from their lists. There's lists for windows admins, but I'm more curious about the admin of perl itself on windows than administrating of windows systems. I'd be up for starting a mailing list devoted to this niche, but I figured I'd ask here first knowing you all would set me straight if there's already good places for this. thanks!

Google is a dear friend.... But its results have the same flaw, they're either activeperl related, or admin of windows related. Maybe an administrating windows w/perl list is an ok place to post questions about the admin of perl on windows. I always been more to the thinking that perl-admin questions are off topic for those lists, they're usually more interested in usage of perl.(manage users, processes, reporting, etc..) It would seem you're the only person to offer up a reply on this, so maybe there's just not many sharing my interest/perspective. I appreciate the response though.	[reply]

On my first read, I missed that you rule out ActiveState's lists. Apologies :( Given that, I don't know of any mailing lists like you're looking for--and I'm guessing no one's responding because they don't either. (At the very least this statement may incite someone to disprove me.) If you build it, they will come? I'll subscribe. --Solo -- You said you wanted to be around when I made a mistake; well, this could be it, sweetheart.	[reply]
