... what you need to do is study reams and reams CPAN modules, the highest order of perl possible, and to show absolute GRADE A++ P.H.D computing knowledge.

If you want to advance the state of the art, you should be familiar with the state of the art. If you're not familiar with the state of the art, you have a hard sell convincing people who are that your ideas do advance the state of the art.

Otherwise your a fool, an idiot and you ought to give up programming entirely because your not good enough.

No one said that.

My quote means that Perl lets people do things without ceremony and without necessarily doing things the "right" way. That doesn't mean that any way you do things is necessarily the "right" way—you have to keep in mind maintainability and predictability and security, for example.

Many people have many strong opinions on this site, but in general we all want the same thing: to help other people become better programmers and write great programs. By all means question the advice given and do your own research, but know this: if I'd had PerlMonks circa 2011 available when I started using Perl 5, I'd have avoided a lot of painful and costly mistakes.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
