You will not become a proficient programmer if you do not become self-sufficient and use the documentation provided. "I glanced at it" doesn't count as "trying to figure it out."

"I read the doc and I don't understand where it says 'blah blah' -- I tried it with this code but I got this unexpected result. Can you help me see what I've missed?" does count.


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

    Like I said, I'm not interested in rehashing the particulars of that debate. Old news.

    $PM = "Perl Monk's";
    $MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate Priest";
    $nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;

      That was no debate. That was you being confronted on your approach to learning, which you've shown repeatedly is essentially "give me the answers without me doing the necessary work." If you didn't want to be taken to task again about that approach, posting a meditation defending it in these halls of learning was probably not the way to go.

        That is your opinion and I think you've reached the wrong conclusion. Again, not getting into it.

        $PM = "Perl Monk's";
        $MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate Priest";
        $nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;
