Changes and additions to the perl5-porters biographies are particularly welcome. There were just under 300 messages this week. My dream is to funnel all the RTFM traffic from p5p, c.l.p. Flames must be removed at all times. It should be easy to be the newbie.
Archives are a valuable resource.
We don't do homework. Questions of this nature should be immediatly redirected to perl-newbies. They can and will ask, we must answer. At first I thought PerlMonks was this thing, however, PerlMonks is not an environment where newbies are alowed to ask simple questions answered in the documentation. While I personally agree with that, I think there's definitely a need for hand-holding as well, and I take my hat off to Casey for having done something about it.
