I think you should be able to post questions on SoPW..without
fear of being downvoted. Many newbie questions may
seem dumb or trival.. but who knows.. there are most likely others out
there that have had the same questions and may be afraid to
ask. We've all been newbies at one time or another. :) I think that most here would gladly be able to help
or explain - but before posting any question - try and
see if it's been posted or explained before using
Super Search or whatnot (i.e.
Google ,
PerlDoc.com, etc.).
