in reply to Not Perl questions

The general concensus is no, not a good idea. This subject has come up a number of times before. A quick search on "off topic question section" lead to the following threads:

And these threads in turn point to others...

Personally, I find nothing wrong with a node correctly prefixed with [OT]... I can always choose to skip it if the rest of title doesn't tempt me. And if it's "near Perl", then it's not really off-topic, is it now?

    What grinder said. ;)

    If I know the answer to OT posts, I like to help (e.g. this thread). If not, then it's no loss to the Monastery, which has an admirable focus on Perl and issues directly related to it. And then there's the PM Chat, which is another story altogether. :)
