I'm inclined to agree... however, I think it is helpful for beginners also
to be amongst more advanced conversation to get a better feel for the
language, even if they can't follow a lot of it, without being stuck on
one of the really advanced lists (like perl-porters or perl-friends).
While the simplest answer is usually the best one (Occam's razor), delving
into deeper or more rigorous solutions can never hurt, and the chance that
something really cool that can be used in a programmer's toolbox may come
about. I have found, being neither a beginner nor an expert like some of
the other people on this list, that I can follow the advanced discussions
here more easily than I can on the hardcore Perl lists -- the advanced
folks here seem to have a better knack at explaining things, which, I
guess, is one of the reasons they are on this list -- they like to explain
complex topics to make them understandable to those seeking understanding.
