in reply to Script kiddies and the like: beneficial or disadvantageous?

One of the problem with Perl community, not just about this forum, is that most of the Perl users are rookies, and some are not even professional. I am not saying that there is no seasoned coders like Perl, there are, but not many.

Perception is very important. If I am professional and new to Perl, I came to a forum like this, and saw most of the questions are more textbook alike, what should my impression be?

Now with those seasoned Perl programmers, to be honest with you, lots of them have style problems. They don't use the language in a modern way.

    If you were a professional you would know that most questions always come from the least seasoned. This site is open to everyone, it's not an elitist club. You don't have to pass a test to enter. Yes, the ever repeating textbook questions are annoying, but they have to be expected.

      The best way to deal with the trolls you put here, is to leave your trolls unreplied, and let you feel chocked. Bye, dear, you only got one reply for your four balloons filled with hot air, but I got 4 answers out of my 5 posts.
