I don’t really miss perl. I do miss the period when perlmonks was relevant to me. I haven’t really seen a similar community since. Maybe rose tinted spectacles on my part but i learned some really enlightening algorithms on there specifically in text processing and i recall it being a really warm community.

Randall Schwarz used to run a podcast that was a total goldmine. Fond memories of listening to that on the train on the way to work.

Most of the people who were on perlmonks are still around somewhere. Often with the same or a similar handle. (I added my first initial to mine.)

Actually some still are on perlmonks :)

I miss perlmonks as well, now that I do mostly python. It was like stack overflow, except discussions were encouraged. It gave you far more understanding than copying a SO answer usually does.
