Good start. I would like to add:

• When posting code or preformatted text, do *not* use <PRE> or <TT> tags. Use <CODE> tags instead.

• Treat the other monks with respect. Don't waste their time and they won't waste yours.

• Please take the time to read the friendly manual. There's a wealth of knowledge provided with your standard distribution. Use it. If you're not sure where to start, type this from your command line:

      % perldoc perldoc

You might also check a few of the links in this post and in this thread for additional ideas and guidelines.

Also, when composing lists of paragraphs, you might consider adding <P> tags to your <LI> content, as was done above and in my reply to that thread I mentioned. (I'm turning into a crotchety old hack and personally find that easier to read than bullet points that are crammed together.) YMMV, of course. :)
