Good, call. Despite my initial post receiving a fair bit of down voting, I stick by my comments. It appears to me as if the original poster had chosen a website a random and posted the question. There is no mention of perl, no mention of OT.

Sure there are lots of people here (myself included) who know the answer to the question, however I know the answer to lots of different questions that may arise, and also have may questions that people here may be able to answer. Doesnt mean I'm going to ask them all, nor answer them all...

IMHO, the original post was the wrong place to put it. A db mailing list or other db related website/faq/news group would be much more suited...
