Hi, please don't use this code. I wrote it ages and ages ago. The above replies were correct in that there are better ways to do this. Upon thinking back to when I wrote some of the code I've posted to perlmonks, I realize that I had a lot more perl knowledge than I had common sense. In this case, I had a solution for the problem ahead of me, but I didn't understand that I was solving the wrong problem. This may be one of the most important things I've learned over the years; I'm sure somebody here (or even myself) could help you come up with a better, and certainly more elegant, solution to the problem you're trying to solve with the above hack(s).

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
