Hello aaron_baugher,

You are absolutely right about that.

But, sometimes not often but some times I see unanswered questions for a few hours. This can happen if the module that the user is using is not commonly used or the question is not a programming question but more like a point that the user got stack and needs a lot of time for a monk to spend on the question search online and come up with an answer.

Unfortunately some times this can happen when people come and ask a question something like "I do not how to use this module please provide an example that I want to do this and that".

Of course this kind of questions they do not get answers, not straight away at least but I have found my self answering a couple of times this kind of questions.

The reason is that I am still learning and I am trying to expand my knowledge/way of thinking with any possible minor or major task. I am not here to gain experience points or reputation, I am here to try to answer questions that would require a bit of online searching and experimentation.

I mean, I know that people have been spending years and years with Perl so they know more than what I will learn ever, but a more difficult question is always a more "challenging" question = to more fun answering this question.

I am only a beginner, two years ago I started learning about programming so I am more interesting in learning how to think and approach more complicated problems and solve them more efficiently.

Again thank you for your time and effort reading and replying my question.

Seeking for Perl wisdom...on the process of learning...not there...yet!
