I have a MAJORDOMO and if you take another step FORWARD I'm gonna USE it! :-)

It has certainly become apparent in earlier round of this discussion that
people like the coziness of a mailing list for discussing perl questions, so
I'm sure this list will fill a useful niche. However, it's not clear to me why
you want to hold *people* to some platform criterium if you don't do that with
their *questions*. Why not open the list to all perl users, i.e., make the
criteria that they a) want to talk about Perl and b) will not stop anybody else
from talking about Perl?

perl-the-gathering? perl-roundtable?

Let us know when the list starts, it will be useful to point people to.
