    Among our warnings are such valuable clues as "Missing argument in printf", and "Invalid conversion in printf", and ruthless efficiency... and an almost fanatical dedication to the Pope...

    ...I'll come in again.

      use warnings is listed in How do I post a question effectively?, but many don't seem to notice.

      Apparently we need to hack a web page with an interactive help center dialog :)

      • did you use warnings
        • o yes
        • o no
      -->
      • did you use strict?
        • o yes
        • o no
      -->
      • did you dump your input/output data?
        • o yes
        • o no
      --> and so on

      Cheers Rolf

      To be technically correct (the best kind of correct):

      #11929 First ask yourself `How would I do this without a computer?' Then have the computer do it the same way.

        Touché. An almost fanatical devotion to the Benevolent Dictator for Life, then!

        (Funny, though. I actually had vroom there first, given that he's the Monastery's founder, but then I thought that we're Perlmonks, not Perlmonksmonks (which would create an interesting conundrum as far as the site's name is concerned, anyway; technically it'd then have to be called "Perl(monks){ω}" for the name to be correct) and that Larry was therefore the more appropriate choice.)
