If you truly want to be "inquisitive", you need to ask questions. That is what "inquisitive" means.

No, I think InfiniteSilence was going for "inquisitive", as in "Inquisition". You know, chain you to a rack and guide you to an auto de fe regarding The True Perl Faith.

Sigh. FWIW, I've long held the opinion that language proselytization is pointless. (How long? Since I was mature enough to think rather than reacting viscerally.)

I find it interesting that you're rather insistently labeled by the zealots in this discussion as a "Perl programmer", which is a label you seem to strenuously avoid. An earlier commentator compared your position to a framing carpenter being peristently tagged as a "hammer wielder". It called to my mind the ancient adage, "When all you have is a hammer everything begins to look like a nail."
