What I've seen is you regularly making very bold statements like a super expert

I have never claimed to be an expert. If my statements have come across that way, that is not how they were ever intended. I am very much an amateur with next to no formal training in programming. What I have achieved I have managed more through brute force and ignorance than anything else. Looking back, I wish I had signed up as a Monk many years ago when I was first aware of the Monastery instead of just using it as an occasional reference. It is probably true to say that I've leant more here in the last 6 months than in the preceding 20 years of using Perl!

Sure I have questioned the quality of this site and still feel it is stuck in a time warp (where else are markup tags needed for a simple comment?), you LanX explained some of the difficulties in making significant changes and you've heard nothing more from me on the topic.

With regard to templates and strict - I didn't see the usefulness of strict and knew nothing of templates. I had code that did what I wanted without either so questioned what benefit they would bring to me.
Is it wrong to question?

Having been shown by wise monks the benefits of each, all my new code uses strict and warnings plus existing code is being refactored to use at least strict as it gets changed. Likewise, with templates...where appropriate, I am using templates throughout new code and have refactored one of our entire websites to be based on templates such are the advantages I see. Having adopted, templates I am advising other monks that they are worthwhile at least investigating - e.g. Re^5: send mail cgi

For the avoidance of doubt, it was not me asking anonymously for examples.
I have never posted anonymously since creating and account. I may have done before that but cannot recall doing so.
