( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I think I have a slightly more twisted reason for getting into perl.

Along time ago, when I was a student, doing a course I hated, (or not doing it, as the case may be), I found myself bored at home, with free internet. So what does a 19 year old eventually get into, once he tires of endless pr0n? No, not perl! Hacking! L33t!
Actually, I got into Hackerslab.org, an awesome site / game.

Im not going to tell you what level 14 involved, suffice to say that I needed to learn a programming langage to do it. I quickly taught myself the rudiments of sockets and arrays, and wrote what I still consider the best code I have ever produced. (If anyone's interested, its on perlmonk.org, at /home/smitz/honeycomb.pl)

And so perl stuck, cos it rules, obviously!

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
