damerell at 06:41am on 21/04/2010Do not got to #london.pm for advice, for you will have a conversation like this:
You: Do you mind if I ask a daft question?
$them: About what?
You: Perl.
$them: Just ask your question, already.
You: start to ask a question about Perl.
$them: Do you think this is a help channel? Have you tried #perl-help? [A series of remarks follow in which they _literally_ violate Godwin's Law.]
&You::despair;
ETA: I shall instead askdiziet who, so far, when I have been stuck on programming projects, has been a tower of strength.

...Oh who am I kidding, I love sounding like a jerk.
But not, apparently, as much as that guy does. Apparently he is unable to read the london.pm homepage, either: "We are a group of people dedicated to the encouragement of all things to do with the Perl programming language in London, U.K.. This involves helping each other, discussing topics, sharing information and the occasional drink and mention of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. "
There really is no excuse for that sort of behaviour. Hope you find your answer in the next place you look for it...
