i think alt.perl.flame would be a better name. anyone know how to create
such a group and have it self moderated like a.s.r? i know how to post
into that group and can tell others how to. no newbie will ever be able
to figure it out as it requires reading stuff.

  TS> I see a great need.

agree. we can offload some of the flames from misc to that group. and
have a place to vent about bad perl code, dumb newbie questions, other
languages, etc.

i notice that a.s.r tends to use perl as a metalanguage. they use $VBC
and such as well as s/// sprinkled throughout their posts.
