I'd like to remind everyone that subject lines are very important. It is important to try and be as descriptive as possible ( in 70 characters or less :). When you are about to begin a thread ( that usually means asking a question here ), please think about your subject lines. This is a very high volume list and we have people with a wide variety of skill sets trying to answer questions. These answerers will often skim the subject lines of messages looking for things they can answer. To give some examples, the following are not good subject lines: Help me please! Perl question [blank] New to the list This doesn't work These are good subject lines: How do I print a variable? My program crashes saying something about explicit stuff My loop won't stop looping I don't understand how splice() works If you can find just one thing in your question or problem that stands out the most, use that as your subject. If you are replying to a message with a bad subject line (I am guilty too) please don't leave it that way. Try and asses the situation and correct the subject line. This will help a lot. Working on this will accomplish mutliple things. The most important thing is that beginners who grasp this concept will be more productive in the Perl community at large. The second goal is to make this mailing list more productive.
