One situation I really want to avoid with perl-beginners is having the

on those other lists say "we don't have time to hold your hand, maybe
you should ask on perl-beginners instead", so as long as something is
being asked by a genuine beginner, I think it's fair game. (And of
course, people are always free to not answer a question, or even to
not read a particular thread. Nobody_has_ to be here.)
Then perhaps, we should split the list: one for those learning Perl and
one for general Perl and CPAN questions. Somehow, when I see the word
beginner, I don't think that the list will answer any question about any
module in CPAN; CPAN is just too big for that.
