I doubt I am the only monk who sees a couple of questions a day that have been asked a hundred times before.

But isn't this something that you just did? :-)

Search doesn't seem to cut it for alot of people and many don't even bother.

Like yourself for example.

Next time, please use super search at least, before posting already-posted material.

In answer to your idea though, this type of idea is a really hard idea to put into actual existence. There are so many legal issues that it would be very unfeasible to try to do something like this. Besides, although it would be a good thing for people with slow connections to the internet, like jj808 brought up, wouldn't those people be better off just purchasing some books like the Camel, or even Llama, and just reading the perldoc's and manpages? Just a thought.

I think the intention of the idea overall is nice, but in the end, there is no way to really do this thus far.

• 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.
