Yasen,

I've heard this before and I can assure you that many people sympathize with you.  

However, how do you define "advanced"?  

If someone is just learning object-oriented Perl, are they a beginner?  I suppose that 
depends
upon who is answering the question.  Also, people who are comfortable with Perl yet 
have never
used DBI will also see this as an appropriate resource.  Yet people who barely know 
Perl and have
to start using a database because their job requires it will definitely want to ask 
DBI questions
here.  I vie many of those questions as "beginner".  As to whether or not they should 
be relagated
to the DBI lists, I'll leave that one to the list moderators :)

As for myself, I simply delete most of the messages in this folder unless they have a 
subject line
that catches my eye.  I receive too much email to try and read them all; there's not 
much else
that can be done.

As a final note, I'll add my personal definition of Utopia:  a place someone is 
guaranteed to
hate.  In short, concensus will not be had on this issue, so compromise is the way to 
go.

Cheers,

Someone asked me how to count to 10 in Perl:
push@A,$_ for reverse q.e...q.n.;for(@A){$_=unpack(q|c|,$_);@a=split//;
shift@a;shift@a if $a[$[]eq$[;$_=join q||,@a};print $_,$/for reverse @A
