I can tell it to you, but I can’t hear it for you.

The statement “I can tell it to you, but I can’t hear it for you” is a common expression that highlights the limitations of communication. It means that while one person can share information or advice with another person, they cannot force the other person to truly listen and internalize what they are saying.

In other words, the speaker is capable of conveying information, but the listener must actively engage with and process that information in order to truly understand and benefit from it. It’s similar to the saying, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.” The speaker can present the information, but it’s up to the listener to decide whether or not to take it in.

Ultimately, this expression emphasizes the importance of active listening and communication in any relationship. It reminds us that communication is a two-way street, and that both the speaker and the listener have important roles to play in ensuring that the message is effectively transmitted and received.

ChatGPT to the rescue!

“Can’t locate Dumpvalue.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Dumpvalue module) (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.36 /usr/local/share/perl5/5.36 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5)”

I asked ChatGPT for an alternative to Dumpvalue.pm and it suggested Data::Dumper — and it worked!!

use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
use DBI;

my $dbh = DBI->connect(‘dbi:mysql:example’,’example2′,’example3′,{raiseError => 1});

my $d = Dumper;
