a zen experience...
Every time I think I've seen everything I need to in perl's documentation, I realize I'm delusional. I spent a good 2 hours fruitlessly debugging a module. After that, I gave up, and started rifling through perldoc... and found documentation that I'd not only seen, but everyone I'd asked about hadn't used or heard of.
I feel like I've approached a zen teacher with a particularly stumping question, which is answered out of hand, using concepts and ideas I've never heard discussed. When I ask "Why haven't you taught any of this to me?", the answer is "you've never bothered to ask".
