in reply to Necroposting Considered Beneficial

Oddly I often find a Google search leads to a long dead discussion, often with the exact problem I've got, but annoyingly either no answer or the most annoying answer of "I've fixed it" but no explanation...!

Finding a thread with a sane explanation and a solution is a rare but wonderous thing!

    I hope you're referring to other forums, not Perl Monks!

    At least, in my experience, most PM threads contain code with accompanying explanations, very rarely ending with "I've fixed it" without an explanation (can happen here rarely, typically when an infamous PM troll spits the dummy).

      Yes in this case almost 100% of the time...!

      For my day job I no longer work with Perl, so it's usually other technologies, and the same problem but no solution is the norm, or people posting the same wrong answer time after time - and then begging for upvotes....
