in reply to Fix the Perl News header

Thanks for raising this point. I've updated the links to be more relevant. I think that such links are useful to newcomers or those who have been away for a long time, so are worth keeping.

    I don't understand why you'd remove Perlbuzz. While Perlbuzz is indeed "pretty much Andy Lester's playground", that doesn't mean it's not a good source of Perl news.

      I removed Perlbuzz simply because we've got a link to Perlsphere, which includes all updates from Perlbuzz plus much more.

        That's good enough for me! Thanks, Arunbear.

        That sounds sensible to me.

        I wonder if it would make sense to also add Twitter feeds that are news sources. Of course I suggest @perlbuzz as the first obvious one, but I wonder if there are others. Then again, that I can't think of any offhand says maybe there aren't others, so never mind. :-)

        xoxo,

        Cause bees buzz and make sweet honey :D

    Thanks for taking the time to update it. It might be worth adding a link to a stable perl5-porters archive (not Google Groups -- God knows what will happen to that), but your list is good: short and up-to-date.

      I updated it a little more. I took out the language that says "post news on one of those sites"; instead, it says post here. :-)

      Also - I hope you don't mind, Arunbear, but I took out the Enlightened Perl Ironman link. That's not really news; it's even less so than a blog, which is what most of the other sites are.

        Ironman might not strictly be news, but e.g. it's where I go to get my daily dose of "what's happening in the Perl world". It's also much more fresh than the O’Reilly blogs section (which is more archive than news).
