in reply to Combining Files

I mean no disrespect to the poster, but has anyone else noticed how many past posts by this person that we've all been happy to write code for? There have been a lot of projects that he's been asked to do, and I see a lot of code written by friendly PerlMonks to solve his problem for him.

Again, I don't mean any offense to anyone, but perhaps we should focus more on helping him solve his problems rather than writing his code for him?

    Let me assure you, no offence taken. I was given this job as a co-op from Drexel University, and I didn't know a thing about perl, why they hired me is beyond me. In anycase, mainly through the help of monks like yourself, in a few short months I have gained a better understanding of perl. Every time some code is posted for me, I take it and break it up, and place a comment after each line, so I learn from the code rather than just copy paste it. However, I completely agree with you in that I would rather be given help towards my goal rather than the solution.

    Thanks again for everyones help
