Nicely put. I wish I could give it all my votes for the day.
If you do feel that someone's post is based on laziness or stupidity
or some lacking trait then
simply post a link to the appropriate perldoc. Heck, most
posts could use a link to perldocs, that way some of
us can learn more about what's in the perldocs or simply
have our memory refreshed. If someone gets enough posts
that point them to perldocs then they might get the idea
that they should do a little more research before posting, myself
included. I don't mean to imply that all posts deserve a simple RTFM
reply with a link. Obviously some posts deserve more attention than that.
UPDATE
Does this include vnpandey too? :)

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.
