Is there a FAQ document for this list? I just re-read my list welcome message and didn't see any reference to one. I was on perl.beginners for a while (too much volume) and I *think* they had one. Whichever list it was, the list admin would send out a canned reminder about it every few days, and it was probably mentioned in the welcome message. Granted we'd still get FAQ's on the list, but maybe fewer, and the poster could just be pointed to the FAQ document rather than someone writing out the whole explanation every time. If we are concerned about having just one-sentence answers, which Todd rightly suggests is not really educational, then let's make it have as much explanation as we can, so that people *do* learn from it. Having made the suggestion, I now must take a giant step backwards and plead no time to put such a thing together myself. That and I'm probably still too much of a beginner. At least let's point out that the archives of this list are available online at http://archive.develooper.com/beginners-cgi%40perl.org/, so if you think your question may have been asked and answered before, look through the archives! (Unfortunately, they don't appear to be text searchable, but Google probably indexes them.) There is a complete list of Perl-related lists at http://lists.perl.org/. (Yes, I understand the permissions question was not really a Perl-only question, but it *is* related to CGI, and could have been asked before.) - John __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
