I tried posting to comp.lang.perl.announce once, but didn't get any
response.
Not only did you *try* posting, you did post! http://groups-beta.google.com/groups?as_q=Siracusa&safe=images&as_ugroup=comp.lang.perl.announce
Maybe not many people read that group these days?
Think of it, perhaps, as the equivalent of a legal notice in a community newspaper.
Now, to be honest, I doubt anybody gets feedback on the basis of announcements on c.l.p.announce. I never have. I think I have gotten feedback on c.l.p.modules. I once found out that there had been a Perlmonks thread on List::Compare -- but I didn't know about it until it was 2-3 months old!
I think most of the feedback I've gotten on the stuff I've published on CPAN has come from my monitoring lists such as c.l.p.* or Perlmonks to spot situations where people need the solution which my work supplies. If they try my code out (and, to be honest, that usually happens only with the aforementioned module), sometimes they send me a thank-you and tell other Perl hackers.
