How often should you read the FAQs ?

Every time one of you says something that sounds like a FAQ.

:-)

But seriously, I still skim the FAQ headlines about once a month (via "perldoc
perlfaq") to remind myself what's there. I also watch the changes to the FAQ
when a new release has come out so I know if there's been any simpler or more
advanced techniques for common problems.

And until you can say you know for sure that it's not a FAQ, you should be
skimming the FAQ headlines (if not the content) regularly as well. Lots of
good stuff in there. After all, we've had nearly two decades of accumulated
usage of Perl.
