Whoa, there, big fella.

You've made a mistake that is pretty common to PerlMonks newcomers ... you seem to think of this place as a free vending machine for answers. Sometimes when people run into a response they don't like, they figure they can just kick the machine and push a few more buttons and they'll get free candy (or even a Pony).

But PerlMonks is a community of real people, and certain rules of courtesy apply. If you are the one who needs help, then you should be humble and respectful even if the answer you receive doesn't please you. Additionally, you need to be careful how you treat some of the more respected monks. You chose to be snippy to davorg without apparently noticing that he has a fairly good reputation around here. This means that many people have been helped in the past by his postings, and it follows that if you are rude to him, many will consider you to be an undeserving jerk. Your posts will tend to be downvoted and your poor reputation will encourage many monks to ignore you.

You've started out badly, but it isn't too late to change. Get a clue, practice some humility, and you'll find that there are lots of monks who would love to help you and who can offer you considerable insight across a wide spectrum.
