There is indeed a PDK mailing list. You should be able to subscribe to
it through the web interface at:

The PDK 7 beta is indeed expired now. Here is what the release notes
said:
| PDK 7.0 Beta 2 uses the version number 6.9.91. It does not require
| installation of a beta or trial license and will expire on March 20th
| 2007. ActiveState will release either another beta or the final
| release before that date.
|
| All binaries created with the beta tools will also stop working at the
| end of the beta period unless you have a valid PDK 6 license
| installed. In either case, ActiveState recommends rebuilding your
| applications with the final release version of PDK 7 before
| distributing them to end users.
The PDK 7 beta was always meant to expire. By default it would work
as if you had a trial license installed. If you had a PDK 6 license,
then executables generated by the beta would not expire, but the PDK
7 Beta tools would still stop working at the end of the beta period.
You will need to buy an upgrade to PDK 7 unless you have an "ActivePerl
Pro Studio" subscription that was still active by the time PDK 7 was
released.
Sorry for the confusion!
