in thread Preprocessing print statements

"... straight forward..."

The classic 24/7 support talk.

Phone call round midnight:

Customer: "I got this nose/cuke problem." Support: "Replace nose with cuke. Customer: "But i don't understand!" Support: "The solution is obvious. Good night."

Situation in the morning AKA aftermath:

[] All servers shutdown [] All airplanes grounded [] Perlmonks offline [] No transactions today [] All centrifuges bursted [] Don T. stays in office

Whatever could happen. But then you are fired.

        Look, I'm not "support" or a "code writing service".

        And "I don't know" any better strategy to teach Perl, than asking and stimulating efforts.

        If you think you can do better, you are welcome to demonstrate your understanding of "support" ...
