The other thing I love about Perl Monks is that there are so many experts present on a regular basis. And, that the experts often disagree. There is seldom one answer to any question. Here exists true embodiment of the principle of There Is More Than One Way To Do It.

Even when an opinion is strongly defended, there are reasoned explanations, and usually caveats or exceptions.

We often solve problems in the way we have done so in the past. Here I've learned new techniques and new approaches to old problems. My checklist of things-to-consider before writing code has both grown, and grown more defined, thanks to the experience and depth of understanding of others.

Thank you all for making PM what it is.
