But don't generalize this to *all* code. E.g., I learned a hell of a lot 
from the Perl Cookbook, which is full of useful and well-written example 
code. I guess you'll have to find sources you can 'trust'.
 

Another great way to learn, imho, is to follow the news groups and mailing 
lists (like this one). When someone asks a question, *first* try to find 
an answer yourself, *then* look at the answers of the other posters.
