There are too many possible questions and misunderstandings and
the answers would have to be terribly long.
If the PERL FAQ is not beginner enough for you, do yourself a favor
and buy a book.

I understand your point. After about a 2.5 year lay off I have started writing
PERL again. I started reading this list because I was looking to hone (and
possibly expand) my perl skills. I for one would be much more able to deal with
the traffic on this list if there were less questions that co

I think everyone is missing my point (or I'm just way off base on this one).
There is no *good* BEGINNERS FAQ available, is there?
The FAQs on perl.com are the same that are available in the distribution

This is not a newsgroup, it's an email discussion list.
The *list* doesn't have a FAQ of it's own although there has been a bit of
talk regarding creating one. And

I have found the FAQS on www.perl.com to be completely useless to a

Ugh. That would be way too much work. The license on the Perl FAQ is nice
in that I didn't need to get any permission for what I was doing. Of

actually seem to find any actual questions and answers. Who writes
that? One implication of the page is that the questions and answers are
user entered. If that is true, I'd want to pretty carefully examine the

Hi All,
It occurred to me that some of you might be interested in a little mailing
list I maintain. It is broadcast only and mails a randomly selected
question / answer pair from the Perl FAQ each day to everyone on the
