Thx Kent. There's no by-line on this site, so I don't know who wrote it. This is what it says: 2.2 - What is this list _not_ for? - SPAM - Homework - Solicitation - Things that aren't Perl related - Monkeys - Monkeys solicitating homework on non-Perl related SPAM. This is gratuitous. Apart from being a redundant structure which includes both 'all monkeys' and 'some monkeys', I think this is supposed to be humorous. Those outside the US will be asking, "What's a monkey?", and those inside it will become one. If perl.beginners shouldn't help people who have chosen to try to learn Perl, and are funded by the state, then, hell, I hang up my hat. Casey: what's your angle?
