You know, you bring up a lot of *true* points on habits of monks as voters, which we all embody at one point in our life at the monastery, but, one thing people always keep forgetting, especially the newbies, is that you cannot learn without freaking studying. Now that actually means sitting your azz down and reading a couple tutorials/chapters on a subject, before you actually asking how to do something. RTFM replies are most excellent in these type situations because if the person did the tinyiest bit of research they'd find the manual, and could do some reading, and then post a more interesting question. Really really newbie questions can be answered by reading a simple tutorial, like Ovids. I do not remember the last time I tried learning a programming language by asking hey, how do i do x, without having any kind of foundation.
I see people all the time asking the dumbest questions, and all because they are lazy. If there is one thing I learned is that it is very hard to learn without reading. Now lazyiness is fine for some, but for newbies it is not an option.
*sigh* I really hate going off like this, but some people just don't get the point. You cannot make every damn post asking how do i fetch a form value into a damn CGI.pm tutorial. The newbie, being a newbie, has to make a concious effort.
A newbie who has a basic knowledge of perl, enough knowledge to be able to read the pod, should read the pod. I love pod. Instead of asking in a 'post' how do I x, ask in chatterbox, and then read pod. Yeah, some might not want to become members and therefore have no cb, so they make AM posts, but those do not wish to truly learn. They want quick solutions to their problems, which ain't gonna happen often. You want somebody to do something for you, you pay them. You want somebody to help you with something you put a lot of time and effort into, you come here.
In conclusion, if you do get a simple use this module answer, you didn't do your research and/or did not ask in the chatterbox as you should've.
