What's wrong with the FAQ
- The wording of the question does not contain "interpolate"
- About half the people asking this question think it's about s///
- The answer is broken (error tapping error)
- Does not handle escaping of $ or names in {}
- Does not address what many people asking this question want (Perl's interpolation)
- Does not address what the other people asking this question want (a Templating system)
- When people almost inevitably discover the simple answer
- They will use the broken form
- They will not be shown the health warning
- They will loose trust in the FAQ
- It also has a meaningless "see also..." (would be meaningful if the simple answer was given)
