From the OP:
Part of the test is to see how I use resources to obtain the data/knowledge needed to simply get the job done - not that I even have to do it myself! So that's where you guys come in!
The emphasis is mine; those are the lines I read between. The nearest and simplest antecedent to "it" in "do it myself" is "the job".

cbrackin I’m a bit confused with your interpretation of your task, you say that you are asked to :- “create a Perl script” to do a certain task, you also say "that the test is to see how I use resources to obtain the data/knowledge needed to simply get the job done" Yet in the task spec it specifically says “Write a Perl script” any interpretation of that would be that you have to write it and "not that I even have to do it myself"!

I think they all guessed his intentions by his spelling of 'Perl' and the way he posted his node. That is, finding a site that specializes in Perl, registering, copy/paste his request, and wait. He did not bother to read the instructions to the monastery.
Of course, you may be right. He may be simply asking for a crash course in Perl.
The post has a bad 'aura', if you will.
I'm so adjective, I verb nouns! chomp; # nom nom nom

That's not the plain meaning of the post, but perhaps your read-between-the-lines skills are better than mine.
First step to reading between the lines is reading the lines :) Try it :) | [reply] |
