	The CPAN Forum is a web forum for discussing Perl's CPAN modules - asking questions, 
	making comments, helping other users, etc. This is not a forum for generic Perl 
	questions- for those, please visit the helpful  
	<a href="http://www.perlmonks.org/">Perl Monks</a>, the mailing lists on 
	<a href="http://learn.perl.org/">Learn Perl</a> or find the local 
	<a href="http://www.pm.org/">Perl Mongers</a>. There are also subject 
	specific mailing lists, a list of them is collected at 
	<a href="http://lists.cpan.org/">Lists CPAN</a>. For even more resources visit 
	<a href="http://www.perl.org/">Perl.org</a>.
