I use IRC once in a while when I need to chat with other Perl folk real-time about some issue. So far, #perl on FreeNode has worked well for me as a Perl developer.

I don't even know what dueling or Battlenet is -- what is that about? I might have to ask my step-son about Diablo -- he has played that before, but I don't see how that connects to Perl.

What problem are you trying to address with this suggestion?
