Need Help??

I use it for these reasons

It works EVERY TIME (unless you don't have the module, etc...) with no escaping of characters because that is all done, within the script.
It saves a lot of space that I don't have to type like the brackets and all the trash.
The sticky fields come in handy, often.
If the HTML tag doesn't already exist in the module, then you can just simply declare it on the command line and voila!
Makes it MUCH more readable regaurdless if it is uppercase or lowercase, brackets or slashes.

Just my .02 cents...

Tiptoeing up to a Perl hacker.
