As you can see, postings for comp.lang.perl.announce are beginning to
flow.

When you post an article, you should get a reply from my perl response
daemon (actually, a complex maze of procmail, mailagent, Perl, MH, and
various other tools) nearly immediately if you are on the Internet.
(If you're off in the store-and-forward world... it'll still show up,
but later.)  If you *don't* get a response from my daemon in a
reasonable amount of time, feel free to write me directly so I can
help diagnose the problem.

I'll try to process the queue every seventy-two hours or better.
You'll get email from me (for now) the moment I either accept or
reject the article in accordance with the charter (see below).

By the way, posting is handled via Rodger Anderson's excellent
NNTPClient Perl module -- thanks to him for letting me work with it a
bit to do my postings.

The comp.lang.perl newsgroup is supposed to be going away soon (the
timeline escapes me), so start posting to and reading
comp.lang.perl.misc.  Expect further announcements as rmgroup-day
approaches.

Oh yeah... the official announcement looked like this:

       CHARTERS

       A split of comp.lang.perl into comp.lang.perl.misc and
       comp.lang.perl.announce is proposed.  Existing traffic in
       comp.lang.perl will migrate to comp.lang.perl.misc, which will
       remain an unmoderated newsgroup for discussion of issues of
       all sorts relating to perl.

       comp.lang.perl.announce will be a low-volume, moderated group
       for announcements of new releases of perl or its extensions
       (oraperl, sybperl, etc.) and periodic postings related to
       perl. It will be moderated from the address
       <[email protected]>. Actual moderation will be carried out by
       Randal Schwartz <[email protected]>, with Bart Robinson
       <[email protected]> and Robert Haas
       <[email protected]> as backup moderators.

Just another Perl newsgroup moderator,
