With respect the URL Alan posted me to was one about CGI in FAQ 9 which itself
contains further CGI URLs one of which Alan also referred me to.

FAQ 2 on the other hand contains information about newsgroups on the web but
it does not contain posting guidelines.

I must have missed it then. Under what subject line? I can see the stats posting
with subject line "Statistics for comp.lang.perl.misc". Via google I've been
able to go through the subject headers of the previous week's posts. (14th Oct
to 21st Oct) . I haven't found anything yet that mentions Posting Guidelines
in the subject line yet or anything other text that makes me think the message
contains a posting guideline for this NG.

I can also see the FAQ: articles which seem to be posts of the individual Perl
FAQ items, and which appear to be under review.

Just to make sure we are clear on this and not talking about different things,
can we differentiate between the Perl FAQ (which, imho, is a FAQ or set of FAQs
about the language) and Posting guidelines for comp.lang.perl.misc ?

Putting comp.lang.perl.misc into google gives some URLs which give posting
guidelines the URL of which was previously posted this week in this NG by
myself elsewhere. In fact it's a document I am sure you are well aware of.

I agree and I did point out that weakness in my suggestions in my previous
post.

As far as I can tell at the moment there hasn't been a post of the posting
guidelines this week. I'll go back a few more weeks in the archive if I have
to and will let you know when I find the last post of the Posting Guidelines.

When I have found the ones that are posted *here* bi-weekly I'll read them.
At the moment the only posting guidelines I have are the ones you wrote,
URL already quoted, and which I hope are the same.

P.S. Just in case, posting the guidelines twice after reading this post or
just after having posted the post I am replying to, just won't do. ;-)
