bladx - I think you are worrying far too much about the monastery and not enough about Perl.

Are you writing any programs right now? If you find out something neat while you're doing that, talk about it in the CB, or in a short post. Help other people if you can. Use Super Search to go through the archives - you can learn a lot that way. Including the fact that discussions like the one you're trying to initiate have been run here a number of times, and they didn't advance anybody's Perl knowledge one iota.

People will vote on your nodes, or not, based on their own personal criteria. They may also take into account the opinions of other people. That's each person's right, and we have to learn to live with that if we want to be a part of this (or any) community.
