At the very least you could suggest such an RD> alternative forum. not churlish. xs is way beyond beginning perl. it isn't covered most books. ok, i should have mentioned other places. so could you. but still, we can't start to get deep guts and xs issues here. then it will turn away the beginners who come here. you need to have some boundaries or it becomes a free for all. that has happened to too many other forums in many places. RD> And "by definition"? So the definition of XS is "Not a beginner Perl RD> issue?" yep. perl guts, c, crazy xs macros, etc are all way beyond beginner stuff. if you can't see that, i can't help you. we get newbies here who are just learning to code at all. tossing xs questions around will scare them to ruby or worse, python! as for other places, google helps. there is usenet (still alive), perlmonks, lists.perl.org to find an appropriate mailing list. local pm groups are great too. uri -- Uri Guttman ------ u...@stemsystems.com -------- http://www.sysarch.com -- ----- Perl Code Review , Architecture, Development, Training, Support ------ --------- Gourmet Hot Cocoa Mix ---- http://bestfriendscocoa.com --------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
