im learning, so I ask questions and if the answers worked, then I wouldnt be asking anymore. Why dont you have a beginners section or somewhere where people who are learning can ask stupid questions and not be called an idiot for it.

The rule of thumb is to ignore the trolls. Feeding them is ill advised at best, the majority of the time there is nothing positive to take from a troll post.

Seekers of Perl Wisdom is the section for all questions relating to Perl, beginner or otherwise. Posting the same (or slightly reworded) question which has already been answered isn't a constructive use of anybody's time.
