If you ask an honest question do so with no fear. Expect --for the following non complete list of offences:

Posting off topic, perl is the topic.
Posting a faq. User the Search and Super Search try to find the answer to your question first.
Not trying yourself, show that you have done some work post cut down code links to show your analysis of the problem.
HOMEWORK.. passing work onto PM will never be tollerated except when it is ;-)

Dont hide around the monastary come post talk enjoy the community, I sure do. Having looked at the questions you have posed so far they all look find, the only dodge question is How do I reset an array? that could be seen as a FAQ. Keep on plugging, you will be a saint before you know.

If you do get -- take a quick look to see why to try and learn from it but dont look to hard or long. Stuff happens dont let it fret you. PM is a very welcoming place, it is just a bits scary when you start.

You might add one more bullet: Posting a question that's so vague as to be unanswerable. Admittedly, this is dificult for a "newbie" to avoid. But one still has to aim for "enough information and not too much". (That seems to me to be more of the problem with How do I reset an array?.) But yea, most of all: Don't Sweat the Downvotes -- If they make sense, learn, but just keep going. p	[reply]
