Yeah, but it's not like this is the first off-topic post and he marked as such. And there is a (very) loose tie-in to Perl. Why make a big deal out of it?

Well, no-one is maing a "big deal" out of it, but since this is a 1st post by newbie, someone has to point out focus of the site

If you do not want to answer it, then just ignore it. Heck, it was not even an approved node until I just approved it!

According to What is consideration? you should not approve OT nodes

Update: It's not like we are getting tons of off-topic C questions. If we were, then it might be time to clamp down on it. But for one or two a year I am not seeing a problem. And since Perl is written in C, it is tangentially related, much like SQL and database questions are. And that's ignoring XS. Becoming better at C in general likely translates to writing better XS based modules later on, right? So how off-topic is it really? Not as off-topic as Java I'd wager.

Oh boy :)
