Ok fellow monks, I am honestly having a tough time making myself do this, but the circumstances under which I find myself are leaving me little choice.
Begging here for money is never a option.
Go away.
Get a job.
Ask your local community for money (family, friends, local do-godder, church/whatever).
Ask your goverment for money.
Sell your stuff (that thing you use to type your emails).
Sell your roommates stuff (thief).
Most importantly, go away!
Every day I get hit up for money, everywhere I go. Perlmonks is not the place to beg for money.

update: added local, it got lost; swapped a slash for a comma.
I'm not planning on fixing the do-godder typo :)

MJD says "you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!"
I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
** The third rule of perl club is a statement of fact: pod is sexy.

    Not to imply that the OP is on topic, but I find it funny that you say:
    Ask your community for money (family, friends, local do-godder, church, whatever).
    I think perlmonks falls into the whatever category of his community.

      The word local got lost. There is plenty of Nigerians who need help, but they also need to ask their local community for help.

        Does this mean that all those Tsunami survivors were supposed to ask for local assistance and were wrong to appeal to the world?

        Sounds like a bad policy too me. And imagine if the early Americans had listened to your advice, they never would have asked for French assistance during the War of Independence... With all the consequences that would have had....

        Having said that I dont think this is the right forum, but I dont think its entirely the wrong forum, and I certainly don't agree with your "local community" POV.
