Well, the people who are asking Linux questions are asking on the wrong list. While
there are people here who are kind enough to overlook this mistake, this does not mean
that the list should be changed to accomodate those that use it inappropriately.
There are general Perl newsgroups and plenty of Unix-specific places to get Perl
informaton, but very few good Win32 Perl resources. Don't dilute this one by making
it just another Perl mailing list.

This brings up a question: Perhaps it should now be ActivePerl-Users? This
would serve to further emphasize the cross-platformness of ActivePerl, and
besides, in 90% of the discussions here, the OS is irrelevant. A lot of
people ask their linux questions here anyway, and we don't find out unless
someone gives a Win32-specific answer and they respond "um, well, I'm using
linux. Any other ideas?"

I agree. But I have a feeling that's what the original poster really meant.
He could have been more specific, though.
