The goal of this Wiki is to collect and store the knowledge necessary for the productive use of Perl and related projects. The Wiki is intended to be a first port of call for users looking for information both free and paid tools that may be used by Perl programmers looking to carve out an independant living. This wiki was inspired by FreePascal's Wiki. Their user community also seems to be very positive and support of independant software makers. Much of this main page has taken direct inspiration from it. No forum is planned, there are also plenty of ways Perl community members may interact.

Perl Related Documentation

Perl already has loads of documentation about it.

Wiki Portals

Wiki Portals have been created for a selection of the platforms and topics that Perl and related tools support. The Portals gather together all the related information for the particular platform or topic in one place to make it easier to locate. The full list of supported platforms may be found here.

In the News

A summary of recent news stories about Free Pascal and Lazarus can be found here.

Projects using Free Pascal and Lazarus

Details and screenshots of an extensive number of applications created with Free Pascal and Lazarus may be found here. There is also plenty of source code that can be found here.

Bug Tracker

The Lazarus Bug Tracker and the Free Pascal Bug Tracker are the places to go to check if the anomaly you have encountered has already been recorded as a Free Pascal Compiler or Lazarus IDE bug and, if not, you can lodge a bug report (see How do I create a bug report) so that it can be fixed. Even better, lodge a patch if you can (see Creating A Patch) with the bug report.
