As the monk that considered that node with the rather terse reason of "idiotic", I'd like to at least explain.
I'm also surprised that I didn't get some sort of /msg.
</p>
<p>
I'm very surprised that a non-specific question "How do I use Perl?" was not considered before even I got to it.
If it was such a great node, it wouldn't have been reaped - plenty other monks would vote "keep" and/or ++ the node.
</p>
<p>
I'm not trying to make a big thing of it - it just looked like a troll.
</p>
<p>
If the question had been "How do I use Perl to do $foo", or "How do I run the perl interpreter when I want to achieve $bar", I probably would have replied to the node, rather than put it up for consideration.
</p>
<p>
I find it rather insulting that my attitude is considered repugnant - I might not be the most experienced of Monks, but I at least expected my previous contributions would show that's not how I normally behave.

<b>Update: </b>Sigh. More personality voting now?
