Me being a new comer to perl, I can say that perlmonks.org is my main resource in my learning experience. I know of no other community as good as this one. As far as repeated post, I know that for myself...I tend to do a couple of searches and read tutorials before I try to post in SoPW. So, I would have to agree with what GrandFather was saying, that to the newer people, they don't really know what's been asked and most are just so eager to get answers that they tend to not search around as much as they should. But, inevitably, I'm sure duplicate posts are here to stay in just about every online community.
