in reply to Learning/Using Perl on Linux

Isn't this a similar (if not the same) node that was front paged yesterday? If it is the same message, it's good that it is no longer front paged, but if it isn't, it looks like it could be an auto node creation kind of thing. I specifically refer to the i want i need your yahoo email id portion. I agree that this node doesn't make much sense. Then again, I don't make much sense sometimes. This suspiciously looks like someone is trying to mask it, much like spam emails are (can you spell V1-agra?). I understand that not all monks out there speak english, and I am glad that not all of us do (diversity), but this looks much beyond broken or poor english. I could be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time.

Just a thought.

    But then again, what sense would it make at all?
    Threre is no spam link.
    If someone wants to harvest email addresses, would messages like these help? Maybe in other kinds of chat or forum maybe, to make other unitelligible kids give their addresses. That would be the people who give out their addresses anyways, without anybody to tell them so.
    I don't think it's spam. Maybe someone really has a problem or was drunken at the computer.

      You're probably right. I don't know. It was just my gut check when I read the thing to begin with. Your second suggestion might also be correct (The Drunken Master with Jackie Chan comes to mind...Drunken Master...Drunken Monk...I'm sure it wouldn't be the first time!). Either way, I hope that the monk who submitted has gotten some tips out of the responses, as I have;-)
