I would not assume that at all. Programming is an extremely open-ended art and set of skills. I think the veterans on the list benefit as well as newbies from the discussions. Since there are always many approaches to take to any problem, we all gain fresh insigths from the interchange.
I'd underscore that a few more times. Think about the context of perl - it is internet glue - so there is stuff always rolling over the rollers from all sorts of directions, DBI, Unix, Cgi, Win32, <insertYourModuleKultHere>.
So there is always more stuff to play with each time around. As an illustration I finally broke down and downloaded the POE and crawled through it, to see if it really would make me all warmUndtFuzzy...
While it is intrinsically true that IF I happen to know an answer, then I don't need that one answered, but there may as R. Joseph points to it, a 'fresh insight' that comes from seeing N-ways to solve that 'one question'.
