Obviously it's because Python is more popular than Perl. ;)

On a more serious note, I think most people get their POE help fix through irc.perl.org's #poe channel. It's certainly active most week days, although it's punctuated by lulls as people actually work at their day jobs.

Or maybe the documentation and web site are so good they don't need the list. Ok, I said I'd be serious.

It could be list deadlock as everybody patiently waits for someone else to start writing. I know that's how I use the mailing list.
