( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Necos,

I'm sorry, but I just cannot sympathize with you. I think it's in my nature to help people. Helping people is one reason I chose IT as a career. I've assisted (hopefully) people with subjects ranging from network cards and routing to perl in the CB.

I've had great talks about jobs and music and general bitching in the chatterbox. It's the main social aspect of perlmonks and I would hate to see any policing happening to the chatterbox.

But enough of my not so great opinion, let's go to the Chatterbox FAQ++

What sort of things are discussed in the Chatterbox?
Everyting and anything!! Topics tend to lean towards perl (naturally). Unix and current events pop up often too, but in general, anything goes.

Two advantages I can think of if the CB becomes a newbie helpdesk.

  • Less AM's - having to actually register to use the CB cuts down on AM posts. Not that I complaining about AM posts, but I think attaching a name to post adds some responsibilty
  • Less OT posts (sorry Ovid) - The less shell scripting, apache, and SQL posts the more time to answer perl questions


  • grep
    Unix - where you can throw the manual on the keyboard and get a command

    Title:
    Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
    and:  <code> code here </code>
    to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



    • 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.
