I'm not long here - but I have had similar experiences elsewhere with needing to know how much help to give.

Ultimately, I'm agreeing with crazyinsomniac - anwser what you can - when you can, when you want. It's time to take a break when you don't want to answer questions - but feel you must. Again, this is my general perspective on this topic - and not too specific to this site.

Personally, the most help I've been able to offer anyone as far as I can see to date has been with non-perl questions.

Which brings me to something else - how much should non-perl questions should be answered on this site? Just cause it's sql surrounded by perl - doesn't stop a question about sql being a question about sql. Should these questions be considered more valid then "How do I run a script?" style questions?

Just my $0.02.
