sorry footpad but lately there's been a lot of talk on 'XP whoring' in the CB.. Fundamentally you're stating how PM should be and how it's intended to be but admit, for some this is just an XP contest. It's a basic drive of people to move up the ladder and do whatever it takes to get there :)) 'XP whoring' is not that bad after all, if someone thinks hard and long just to come up with some original code or question about Perl, just so he could gain some XP than i'ld say his motivation might have been wrong but the effect on PM will be correct ie innovation and meditation within the Monastery. jorg

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.
