Like the node I'm replying to, all the nodes below contain the usual boring “sundial shtick” ... “Do Not Do A Thing Already Done”™ ... yada yada ... “Swiss Army® Knife” (sometimes corrected to Chainsaw) ... blah blah blah ... `"CPAN upload statistics"` ... koo koo kachoo ... Not quite Groundhog Day though because I'm seeing an interesting trend in node reputation over time: Re: Get me excited about perl: Sep 19 2012, rep:21 Re: Why so much hate?: Aug 7 2013, rep:14 Re^2: Opinion: where Perl5 wasn't attractive for me: Nov 21 2014, rep:3 Re: Is what you want available?: Jun 9 2017, rep:0 Re: Multiple values for a single key: Aug 4 2017, rep:-3 Re: Some Help for a Report About Perl: Nov 2 2017: rep:-4 Re: Help me convert this to Perl: Nov 27 2017 (today): rep:-17	[reply] [d/l]

(and other bits of Perl source-code that will probably soon be contributed by other Monks ...) ...but not by you. Never ever. The OP seeks advice, not CPAN praise, neither marketing speech nor common-place fluff. What the hell are you doing here? What qualifies you as a Perl Monk? You are not here to learn. You are not here to teach. Your posts suggest that you are here to exercise blather. ☣ get lost ☣ perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'	[reply]

I'm pretty sure as soon as I hit the underlined, bolded, and for some reason hyphenated "and" I got cancer. I have honestly tried to read through some of your posts but after about the second sentence in every single one of them, my eyes glaze over and then roll so hard they'd give an F-18 pilot tunnel vision. I'm not going to reiterate what better monks have said, but I will confess that watching the trainwreck each of your posts produces keeps me coming back. Whether you actually become a useful resource on this site or not, I don't care, but I hope that future knowledge seekers are consistently made aware of the quality of the *"(a-d-v-i-c-e)"* you give out. Three thousand years of beautiful tradition, from Moses to Sandy Koufax, you're god damn right I'm living in the fucking past	[reply]

Cut the crap. You don't use any of these modules, you can't even post a few lines of working code. You're not here to help anyone. Seek mental help. Stop re-posting useless stats from CPAN, and start marking your posts in line with the guidelines. Why the hell aren't you answering any of the questions people ask of you? why are you ignoring the people who know about perl and programming? You're sick. Seriously. There's something wrong with you.	[reply]
