Dear co-monks,

as real perl believers we want to make proselytes every time and every place. With every new follower of perl old questions are restated again and again. Restating old questions, beyond pure stupidity (but do stupids really like perl?) , is not necessarily a bad thing. It is merely a sign of the healthy growth of the number of followers in our beloved rel...language. Isn't it?

Moreover, while some experienced monks may find it boring, the even more experienced ones may find even the old questions stated in another context interesting. I would claim that I always learned much more from the disussion than from the "one" correct answer itself.

Finally (ups){ although it should be recommended to use search before one states a question, it should not be enforced. }
