First, Perl is not an easy language. Perl was not the
first language i learned, nor the
second, or
third, or even the
fourth. Some people are
simply not ready for Perl, and i for
one would never put someone on a motorcycle before they
first learned how to ride a bicycle very well.
You raise some very good points, and i do appreciate reading such arguments to remind me of why i am here, but not everyone that comes asking for help should be using this language right now. It's dangerous without proper wisdom, and sometimes you have to say "don't touch that - you will get burned" in a rather scolding tone. As for those with initiative to learn, they will stick around without anyone having to extend them an invitation because they will see the benefit of staying. I am not saying that we should not extend invitations, i am simply saying that those who really want to learn realize that it is up to themselves to put forth the effort, not us. Good root post, by the way. jeffa L-LL-L--L-LL-L--L-LL-L-- -R--R-RR-R--R-RR-R--R-RR B--B--B--B--B--B--B--B-- H---H---H---H---H---H--- (the triplet paradiddle with high-hat) In reply to (jeffa) 3Re: The Case for Learning Perl
