If you need help on a specific special var or option then I guess it's okay to ask. The action of asking implies: A. You aren't a Golf Pro (yet) B. You need extra help The pros have already scoured every reference on special vars etc that they can get their hands on. Beginners should look VERY carefully at: perl -h perldoc perlvar perldoc perlrun Asking about regexs might be slightly different, since *sometimes* there can be length optimisations that someone else might not have spotted.
