Hi Mike,

I have used Mason but on a limited basis. I don't actually do much programming or web work these days. I keep from getting too rusty by answering questions on forums.

Most of the people that ask for help on forums are students or newbies.

You might want to check out www.perlmonks.com if you haven't already. The questions range from beginner to extremely advanced. I read that forum but I don't post on it as there are already a lot of very good perl people answering questions there and quite often the questions posted are too advanced for me to answer anyway. You might find it stimulating.

The perl forum on tek-tips.com used to be pretty busy but has tapered off, as well as perlguru.com. They get activity but not like they used to.

The Daniweb perl forum is erratic. The average is just a few questions a month, mostly newbies or beginners with pretty easy questions.

Regards,
Kevin
