++ to gmax for me, too.

I agree with you, as I have the feeling that my best nodes are not on my top ten, too. I tried to analyze the phenomenon and wrote a meditation that, in my mind, could work as a tutorial for newbie monks. That was one of my more controversal nodes, on which I had a lot of votes, about an half were --; and it never reached meditations (it was moved to discussions). Aristotle, too, wrote a node on the meaning of XP and pointed me to it.

From time to time monks come back and discuss about XP: XP is good, XP is bad, XP makes monks hungry, XP makes monks angry... my feeling is that XP makes the site alive. Why? Because it is good and bad, makes people hungry and angry and so on ;-)

Ciao!

The very nature of Perl to be like natural language--inconsistant and full of dwim and special cases--makes it impossible to know it all without simply memorizing the documentation (which is not complete or totally correct anyway).

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
