GrandFather, I totally agree with you. I am new to Perl and I have learned so much just looking at existing code and trying to find out what they did and often times I do find "bugs". My next challenge is to learn how to fix them. It has really given me a good grasp of Perl and what I can do or not do in my own code.
I have also learned a lot from reading SOPW entries to see what others have had problems with and how these were solved.
I love this site!
