True programmers know no fear of computers. However, any programmer who knows fear of RTFM would likely not post to any perl mailing list that didn't have beginner or newbie in the name, due to having experience with such lists before ever hearing about mod_perl. Count me as someone who would be interested in being on the list, though not necessarily very active. Ed
