I agree that there should be one. Some people who use Microsoft software also use Perl, and the site has some articles on Perl. Perl also doesn't represent a major threat to anything that Microsoft does, like Java or Linux. In my experience, Perl on Windows is often the tool of choice for service providers on Windows (I've worked for a couple of web hosting companies).

humm, i dont have much knowledge about perl but i guess it does pretty much what ASP does, rite ??
and CP has a forum on ASP.NET
So i still belive Perl forum is out of question..
Ppl always do request for new forums but they are all are turned down by Chris.;)

Well, it is used in web pages, but it can be used for any general scripting task; I've only worked with it long enough to fix a couple of other people's bugs myself. The thing is, it's used by an awful lot of transplanted Unix programmers for productivity reasons, and I can't thing of another such full-featured quick scripting tool for automating things on Windows. I think it's a little more mature than VBScript, although I guess with VBScript you can always do CreateObject to create a COM object; I don't really know, that's not my cup of tea.
I just don't think that the notion of a Perl message board should necessarily be dismissed out of hand. The reality is that lots and lots of people use Perl on Windows. If this is a Microsoft advertisement and fan site, then maybe it shouldn't be allowed; if, however, the goal is to provide the best possible site for programmers working with Microsoft stuff, then it makes sense to include it.

I belive that there is a link at msdn.microsoft.com to codeproject as CP has tiedup with them...
plus CP is mostly centers around VC++ developers. VB is i guess slowly been phased out... (Thats what i think coz one guys VB article was not accepted)
Well, perl i really dont know much what it can do and what not... so no comments on perl itself. but i dont think chris is going to consider that.
There are so many hot technologies around that can be also included, but since this site is all bout VC++,there is little chance for Perl forum.

My dear Mr.Prakash!
Since you don't know about Perl and guess you also have not a very good idea about codeproject. As U exclaim this to be VC++ centric website. I do appreciate your love for VC++ and CP, but just drum it into your mind that compnaies do use Perl for it's Windows device drivers. So if this site is promoted by MS, it should include Perl forum also.
And one more tip to U Win32+Perl = you are king of system programming.
cheers!

CP is VC++ centric wheather you like it or not and you will hear the same thing from most of the ppl here.

how many companies 1,2 or do they use DDK for Developing Device Drivers. I am not aware of DD being developed using Perl.

Then i would suggest forums for DDK, DirectX, ODBC, OpenGL, MFC, Win32SDK, GDI/GDI+, etc,etc.

I waiting for the reply, by the way just got in support 
"how many companies 1,2 or do they use DDK for Developing Device Drivers. I am not aware of DD being developed using Perl."
I am not the right person to judge your awareness, but when you think about product development (which include search engines), perl,python and PHP is inevitable. But since microsoft support Perl, hence I suggested.
"Then i would suggest forums for DDK, DirectX, ODBC, OpenGL, MFC, Win32SDK, GDI/GDI+, etc,etc."
Ofcourse, you are welcome to give your suggestions a separate thread will be a better option. As at this depth, ur suggstion may not bubble out to the top.
cheers

Well i didnt make a "Suggestion" for the forums, i know those forums are not required, existing forums well statisfy the requirements for Visual C++.

One day there will be forum of Perl here as this is CodeProject not VC++CodeProject, and we both will charish it.
God and dog both are made of three words. What matters is percpective.

When somebody clicks on What's New [^]link, a page is dynamically generated on the fly, containing all the articles during specified period of time. Now my suggestion is to give the user the option of generating the output result in XML format. Think of it as a complete RSS file. I don't think that it's a hard work to do, while generating the XML file is more easier than HTML files. I hope it dosn't seem a stupid suggestion!

First, great job on the blog feature, Chris.
A few problems, though. The RSS channel title should probably include our handles instead of a generic title. That might also be good to add to the description element as well.
Any plans on supporting other mods for RSS (like track back, etc.)? I mean, what is there now is definitely something I've been hoping for because of these[^] reasons, but I'm just curious.

Certainly a great job, but I don't like the topic view. And it doesn't even allows to change it in the profile page.

Sounds like job security to me, which is getting harder these days with all the out-sourcing.
Note to future employers - I do comment my code fully using common commenting syntax for easy API documentation!

This would facilitate more discussion on how to improve the site.

Nah! the comments here are more specific to Codeproject and generally those ppl who are members of CP for a long time post here. So no point showing this to newcomers on the front page.
Generally the newcommers would come here with a question, so if they see one of their question on the question time, They would follow the thread.

Okay, I agree. My suggestion is withdrawn. Only the people who really care about and know the site come over here, and that's probably best.

I suggest the following as possibilities:
1) No voting on articles allowed until at least the achievement of bronze status
- Hopefully, this will reduce the incentive for people to create bullshit accounts
2) No inclusion of anonymous comments/questions in the "Question Time" sidebar
- Hopefully, this will reduce the incentive for people to post bullshit comments on their own articles
3) No anonymous posts allowed as the root of anything
4) No voting for the same article twice from the same IP address

I don't agree with that one, it would unfairly exclude people asking for help in the topical forums. Maybe choose not to show article-messages in the question time instead?
