I think the root node shows a willingness to learn, and I don't think Bod deserves to be picked on this much.

(Bod: ... yet ;-) Upgrading a legacy codebase can be a difficult and long process, but for any new code you write, listen to the advice given so far!)

Thanks for your faith haukex

but for any new code you write, listen to the advice given so far!

Worry not...I am doing my best!
As I have said elsewhere, I am Refactoring webcode to use templates and implementing Template which is a direct result of advice from the Monastery. All the new code has use strict; although I confess to overlooking to use warnings;. Lesson learnt!

Although the process has started, I found out about SQL placeholders for the first time this week and spent a few hours last evening changing some of the new code to implement them - fortunately there was not too much SQL yet!

I am here to learn and to improve but coding is a small part of my role and my learning has to reflect that.

I happily take the downvotes if he stops nagging (and starts using placeholders in SQL)
