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? :)

Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!

Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.

Please read these before you post! —

• How do I compose an effective node title?
• How do I post a question effectively?
• Markup in the Monastery

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:

a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr

Outside of code tags, you may need to use entities for some characters:
