Perl Forum

[Kerepla]

I need to get a good free perl forum for my website bc i would like to start nice community.... does anyone know of any good one that is not a pain in the *** to set up...

Please - no hyperlinks to sites that advocate or aid in hacking. What you do with your time is your business, but this is SysOpt.

I really hate forums on small sites. If you aint going to get the visitors to fill the forum why bother? it would just look tacky.

I also really hate sites with polls titled "Would You Like To Hack Someone?"!!!

Not to sound mean or anything

But if you are looking for a PERL programming forum is BEST to actually go to a PERL programer group websites

chances of getting your questions answered well are much more greater

as you noticed SysOpt, is by its name
mostly System Optimizations, Games, Networking and stuff, but barely about programming

and the group age here are either Youngsters or Old guys

The only one that comes to mind is YaWPS (Yet another wep portal system), it has a good forum in it (http://yawps.sourceforge.net/). But i see your running it off mandrake linux, it installs php along with apache, unless you unselected it on setup, So i would recommend downloading phpbb (www.phpbb.com).

IKONBOARD!!!! best Perl forum out there and it's free hehe
http://www.ikonboard.com :D
it'll cost you $250 to remove copywrite tags and links to ikonboard but you don't want that do you :D

ikonboard is what i use, check it out (http://shawnserver.cjb.net/cgi-bin/ikonboard/ikonboard.pl)

to get Ikonboard to work you need 2 perl modules, DBI and DBD:

[ShawnD1]

he asked for a Perl-run-forum, not a forum about perl lol

great link though :)

I know but if he tries to write his own he might have questions to ask, that's why I thought about that forum.

Hey, nice lookin' forums you've got there. I was a TFCer myself for a good while. :)

yeh would def try PHPBB, you would need PHP and MySQL installed tho and both are free.

I have written my own forum system in PHP and MySql, as below, so i would recommend PHP and Mysql, and PHPBB is free!!
