a's 4 liner works as expected from the command line, but
from CGI in framechat, it doesn't find $ENV{TEMP} on my
system, neither does tye's line. So, rather than gamble
with the location of $temp it's been made a config variable
that defaults to the script directory, so people with
restrictive environments can easily set it.
I see what you mean about
the 'magic' $comment global. It's really just an artifact
of the development process, it was needed at first but
eventually coded out of relevance.
Update:
(an obsolete patch that was here has been deleted)

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).
