in reply to local() for scalar file slurping

I'd just like to add a few references to this thread:

If I may pull out my pedagogues hat for a moment, please note that the latter two are found in the Getting Deeper Into Perl and Perl Idioms Explained sections of the Tutorials section, respectively. :-)

    Thanks for the list. There's some good reading in there.

    How does one become a pedagogue, anyway? I'm curious.

    print substr("Just another Perl hacker", 0, -2);

      It helps if one is something of a pedant. (I can say that since I am the "charter member" of the group...) ;-)

      Seriously, according to our usergroup,

      The pedagogues are those brave souls who have decided to focus on teaching others through managing the tutorials section.

      demerphq has stated (and I totally agree) that "the purpose of pedagogues is to aggregate, edit and commission" Tutorials.

      So, a desire to help with such is the primary prerequisite. I don't know if any formal guidelines such as a minimum rank have been established, although I would probably say that the minimums required to join other groups are probably a pretty good threshold. Other than that... humbly petition one of the gods. :-)

      HTH,
