Channels

This is by no means an exhaustive list. Channels are added here at the request of their founders and maintainers as a courtesy. If you want your channel added, please talk to the opers in #opers.

Official Channels

The following channels are the "official" channels of their project. They may have presences on other networks as well but this is their home.

#catalyst

Home of Catalyst, the Elegant MVC Web Framework

#dbix-class

Home of DBIx::Class, an object<->relational mapper library. Also often a good place for general ORM discussion (the authors of a number of other perl ORMs hang out in there as well)

#email

Home of the Perl Email Project, a community dedicated to making Perl the best-choice language for email processing. See http://emailproject.perl.org.

#parrot

Home of parrot development. See http://parrotcode.org

#perl-qa

#perl-qa exists to discuss quality assurance in Perl, both in the core and elsewhere. The channel is usually quiet, but there are occasional and very useful questions and discussions about testing.

#perlfr

Channel for French speaking mongers. See http://www.mongueurs.net

#poe

Home of POE, the Perl Object Environment - http://poe.perl.org

#pound-perl.pm

IRC Perl Mongers administrative channel. See http://pound-perl.pm.org

#rt

Home of development for Request Tracker. See http://bestpractical.com/rt

Not-So Official Channels

The following channels are either not associated with a specific project or are not the official home of anyone except perhaps the miscreants that inhabit them. They did, however, ask to be listed here. Who are we to refuse them?

#perl

To quote Schwern:

#perl [is] a social club. We like to have somewhere to go where we can hang out and not have to work. Folks that want a more serious, technical #perl can go to any of the other popular networks... EFNet, DALnet and freenode to name three. And they do, a lot of the #perl regulars hang out on another network as well.

Point is, #perl is not "the Perl community". Its our little social club that's tried to isolate itself. We answer Perl questions when we feel like it. Its not a nice place. Whether you think that's a good idea or not, too bad!

Perl Community: irc.perl.org
