Re: Perl Monks in numbers?

Is this not a bigger issue than just the PerlMonks? Why is such a wonderful medium like Perl waning in the orthodox software community at all, compared to the tower of babel we have in this community?

I am an initiate, zero on your PerlMonks scale. Yet I have been developing Perl applications for 23 years. I am now focused on becoming a Monk, to raise a much bigger collaborative opportunity for Perl and its community.

I want to dialog about it. But my first attempt at introducing the subject has been bounced by your "tough beans" algorithm, so I am exploring other ways of opening a discussion.

"Tough beans" usually means that you are trying to read something reserved for members of groups with special powers. I'm not a member of any of them, so I can't give definitive information, but getting membership of things like PMDevs or gods seems to be far more dependent on skill and dedication than on time as a monk.

Welcome back, beartham, to PerlMonks. davies already explained about the tough beans, and that skill and dedication are the ticket to internal groups like SiteDocClan in PerlMonks. If you mean to join one of those, you have to ask as they cannot guess what you want to do. Cheers, Sören Créateur des bugs mobiles - let loose once, run everywhere.
