To get a feel for the sort of questions that get good answers have a look at Best Nodes. That may help you understand what is required for good questions.

But your biggest issue at PerlMonks is that you don't seem to learn from the answers that you do get. Many of your questions are seeking a solution to the wrong problem or are too focused on a bad solution to a very small part of a bigger problem. Many of the answers you get are about trying to get you to re-examine your approach. Collectively the monks have a huge amount of experience and are interested in helping people improve their own coding. When the monks ask for more information, or suggest an alternative approach you should consider their advice seriously. Often we will use your small issue to help you learn and grow as a programmer, but you need to trust that we know what we are talking about and show that you are prepared to accept advice and learn.

Bare code as a solution to the specific and narrow question asked does nothing.
