perl6-users mailing list

Hi everyone,

We setup a perl6-users mailing list.  It'll be our first list for  
perl6 "users" (as opposed to implementors).  Of course I hope the  
implementors will join too and help the users.  :-)

Email perl6-users-subscribe <at> perl.org to subscribe.

It will show up on the nntp server as perl.perl6.users within a few  
hours and eventually on Google Groups too (if you run a popular-ish  
NNTP server and want a read-only feed, send me a mail off-list).
