PerlMonks

( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Perlmonks is a great site. i have learned a lot here. Recently i have been having a problem however, and i would like to ask other monks experiences on question quality.

When i first joined perlmonks i didn't know how to use strict; and had all kinds of problems with my code looking a lot like C++ (no offense to C++). It behooves me to think i've learned a lot since that time. Things such as searching for answers in the docs, writing and testing code, and even looking away for an hour so i can get back to thinking about a problem have all been very helpful tools that i learned here at the monestary. It seems, though, that now that i have more knowledge of perl i'm having problems phrasing the questions i have in any intelligable fashion. This means to me that i have little grasp on what i'm trying to ask, yet i know that i have a question. After finally passing a hump where i can answer most of my own questions this is quite frustrating...

So, after that discourse, i would like to know if any other monks have had this problem. Did other monks reach a plateau where they could answer most of their own questions and had difficulty asqing* new ones? If so, what did you do? What did you try? Is there anyway i can try to think about the question that will ellucidate a proper intelligable question to be asked?

i realize this is an abstract, vague thing, but any opinions would be greatly appreciated (if you can understand what i'm asking)...

nuf evah,

*asq = another stupid question

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.
