Hello, I'm french and it's true I can't complain, since in france the perl monks are pretty active, and can solve much of the problems I come across. I myself agree with the fact that "You will miss usefull comments of people ..." , since there is no sharing of information ... But, on the other hand, you can't blame someone who wouldn't be able to express himself in english (there I had so much trouble formulating this sentence ;o) The solution would be this (in my opinion): - when somebody exposes a problem in another langage than english, then someone should translate it if that question goes unanswered, or if it is really relevant to the entire community. I don't think everyone would enjoy much the translation of the most common questions. So in this case I would encourage the good souls out there to help others in translating there messages in the langage of choice that is Fr.. arghh no English ;o) Or perhaps could we ask our questions writing perl code ??? After all Larry Wall is a linguist, and most probably intends to make of perl the perfect langage that would unify all nations, and then the world would be perfect, and blah blah blah ;o) Tripnotik PS: excuse my french ...
