Fortunately, there's a documented posted here regularly, clearly labeled
as Posting Guidelines, that indicates quite clearly what people get
their posts dissected for.

Remember, Perl is a programming language, programmers are people, and
expert programmers are *donating their time here* to help the novices.
Ask a stupid question, or one that's advised against in the Posting
Guidelines, and get a snippy, terse response -- because the alternative
is having the experts say, "@#$% this, I'm tired of answering the same
four FAQs over again" and going off to do something else.

There's a reason Larry Wall doesn't post here, and Randal Schwartz posts
only rarely. Do you want to chase the other experts off too?
