Thanks for that, liverpole. I keep a copy on my hard disk, but...

This piece should really have been included into the FMTEYEWTK compilation - or wherever appropriate - on perl.org long ago. IIRC the FMTEYEWTK compilation is authored by Tom Christiansen, so I wonder why this particularly enlightening writing isn't included.

update: it looks like the ftp site ftp.perl.org is empty now. Tom Christiansens compilation can be found, at the moment (2011-05-27), at perl.com. Thanks for the hint, kennethk.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


good chemistry is complicated, and a little bit messy -LW
