IRC Chat

Many of the authors of books, presenters and influential Perl individuals chat on IRC. If you need to ask a lot of questions or you are new to Perl, please use the FreeNode server (irc.freenode.net) to chat on the #perl channel. If you want to bask in the presence of some of the Perl gurus, go ahead and use Pobox, which I think is the MagNet network (irc.perl.org, irc.pobox.com, etc). There is also a channel on MagNet for help, #perlhelp.
