Per https://social.vivaldi.net/@DoctorG_1/113777256168554403 (https://perlmongers.de/) audit our XML to activate active German Perl Monger groups.

@jhannah jhannah changed the title https://perlmongers.de/ claims there are 28 active Perl Monger groups in Germany? 28 active Perl Monger groups in Germany? Jan 5, 2025

The first one: The website is dead when you try to click through to it:
https://perlmongers.de/?AarauPM
So by pm.org standards, that group is not active. So our data is correct?
Unless... we should consider the URL above as good enough information, even though it includes a dead link? 🤔
I don't read German, so it's hard for me to evaluate...

The second one: The only link is dead, so definitely not active?
https://perlmongers.de/?AugsburgPM

The third one: Just a spam link? So definitely not active?
https://perlmongers.de/?BaselPM

Since the first 3 of 28 are ... not active groups(?), I guess I'll stop auditing?

The side bar of that wiki says that it's being rampaged by spam bots. And the changes feed seems to agree (unless the site is suddenly about discount shoes and badly utf-8 encoded chinese text).

The "send me an email" link goes to a default "what is plesk" page, which is also a clue.
