in thread Give a fish or teach to fish?

Mostly, though, it depends on my time and interest.
I agree. At the risk of stretching the fishing metaphor too far, we all bring our fishing tackle and expectations when we browse the posts. So for example a perl initiate novice (like myself) would be thrilled to "reel in" a simple "homework problem", filet it and have it for dinner. A more skilled perl programmer may be more likely to pass on the small fry. That is natural and overall a good thing.
