You've probably read this type of reply enough...but this is a super idea deprecated! I'm a new programmer to Perl myself... and only being 16 I really don't have any sufficient funds to pay for ANY Perl books other than like checking books out in the public library and so on.

If you really did start a charity fund for Perl programming books like you said in your idea... that'd be cool for people less fortunate like me and dusk and many others out there that would benefit from it too!

The only question I would have about this would be like stated earlier too: how would you determine where the money was gathered at...(where people would donate too...) and also how you would determine how people could get a free Perl programming bool.

Thanks for listening...

• 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.
