Hmmm. I seem to have initially made an over-broad statement. Your point about people who have been doing it for a while is well taken. Since my perling hasn't included much parsing, much of this seemed new ground for me. I will be very interested to see how my meager and limited efforts over the past few years can be improved by seeing how others do it.

Just because "There's more than on way to do it!" doesn't necessarily meant that my way is just as good. If fact, I rather suspect that at the end of the parsing tutorial next Monday, I will have VERY useful things to think about.

What are you involved in? I am the DBA for the Maize Genome Database, and the majority of my perl use is in dba tasks and cgi scripts for data presentation.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
