Yeah I totally agree with you. I have always considered this as almost a programming mecca. I think it's definately the best programming community i've come across on the web (and i'm not just saying that). I know in the past when I've posted a question here, monks have been incredibly helpful (and lightening fast at replying) and i'm very grateful for that. I just honestly wish I needed to code more Perl so I could contribute more, but you kind of go where your projects take you...

It's also try that web fads come and go, but real community is the most important thing.

Thanks,
Tom
