Recommendations - Top Perl Sites
There are hundreds of great web sites on the web, more than a busy programmer can fit into his spare time of only an hour our so each day. For those of us who have such limited schedules, I suggest the following Perl-specific sites.

1. The Perl Foundation     2. Perl Directory 3. Perl Mongers 4. Perl Monks 5. Planet Perl 6. CPAN 7. O'Reilly 8. ActiveState

Central Perl organization Perl resources Perl user groups Perl user community Perl blogs Perl modules Perl books Perl distribution

These sites have formed an alliance of loosely knit sites that are at the core of the Perl community.

Frequency of Visits
How often should a programmer review favorite sites?

The easy answer is that once every 1 week is plenty often to keep you abreast of the site offerings. If you find a topic of interest, particularly one that applies to a project your are, or will be, working on then more time can be justified. If you were to visit all your favorite sites every day, spending 1-2 hours in the process, then you're there for fun, not for professional reasons (which, of course, is ok - but not necessarily the best use of your time).
