This expresses my sentiments about Perl Monks exactly. But Perl Monks isn't just about Perl. I've absorbed more computer science here than from any single book or course.

Perl Monks is a mix of people; from those who (have created|are creating) Perl to computer scientists to those who have years of Perl experience behind them to those who have a specific problem they need help with to those who are just beginning to learn Perl. (And one person often falls multiple categories.) People ask questions and share their expertise, and everyone benefits and learns.

Thank you to everyone who makes this site community what it is.

Once it's Turing complete, everything else is just syntactic sugar.

  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
