The Perl Community
The Perl Community is large and diverse, with various groups and online resources that have evolved over time. It began primarily on Usenet and mailing lists but has expanded to include conferences like YAPC, local Perl Monger groups, mailing lists on many topics, blogs, IRC channels, and more. The document encourages the reader to get involved in the community by participating in discussions, projects, learning opportunities, or social events like conferences and meetups.
