Please approach PerlMonks in this way ...
-
Do your “due diligence” research first. Do a search to see if what you’re asking has been asked before ... it most certainly has.
-
Be sure that you are actually posting a question that can be answered ... and that can be completely understood quickly by someone who knows the answer.
-
It is of course very frustrating to whack your head against a problem... but maybe the first thing that you need to do, is to get away from the
terminal computer for a little while you give yourself time to think, perchance to sleep. If you decide that you truly are up against a problem where you do not know how to proceed, spend a little time “framing” your question. Sometimes this very act suggests an answer, or at least a strategy for finding it.

From the place from whence you take, also give back.
