++ to kirby, ask him\her for their Perl Monks username PERFECT~! =:-) Definately check for typos on the spelling of Perl, or ask them what Perl stands for, or what is a shebang line? or really simple things, like who is Larry Wall or Damian Conway. P.s. If he says their username is "Paco" ask where the heck he's been for the past few years =:-) | [reply] |
