There's nothing wrong with giving additional advice in general, but your approach could be better. I mean, look at this thread -- did the "yes you can use use CPAN" threads add any real value? Or help answer the actual question? No, they didn't. Worse, the OP was bombarded with what are essentially off-topic questions. A better approach is to ask if policy prevents the use of CPAN modules first. In this case, the answer would have been yes and that would have been the end of the "use CPAN" threads.
