in thread How to find out if an argument is an LVALUE ? (TinyPerl)

FYI, due to bandwidth concerns, HTML images are discouraged at PM. Nowadays we can add small graphics to our posts without bandwidth concerns via Unicode emoji:

🐔 🐓 🐣

See Re: Add "Image Miniatures" to your HTML (Fun, Emoji and Ascii Art References) and Emojis for Perl Monk names for more examples.

    <nitpicking> well it's not an HTML image but a 70 kB table with color codes in the cells </nitpicking>

    <td bgcolor="A7C0A4"></td> ... yadda yadda

    Since the transfer is compressed I'm not sure if this really adds much to the average size especially if it's not used as a constant signature. (?)

      I seem to recall that in one or two of his early HTML image (for want of a better phrase) efforts, he mentioned he was limited by the maximum allowed node content size.

      If something resembling a large image is really wanted, you can wrap an emoji (just a few bytes) in several <big> tags:

      🐔

        Okay. I will keep that in mind. (But a emoji is just a general pic. The one I included is an actual photo of one of my roosters. Sadly, I had to give him away, because the city won't allow me to keep more than one rooster.)

    due to bandwidth concerns

    I feel like I've stepped out of a time machine...

    Concerns over the bandwidth of a little image (or HTML table), talk of Windows XP, Austin Allegros and Tiny Perl...

    I wasn't overly worried about the bandwidth of images in the days of Windows XP. Those days are well and truly over - at least for most of us! So, I am not sure we should worry too much about the bandwidth of reasonably sized images now in 2023. If the creators of YouTube or TikTok had been worrying about bandwidth they would have been in some problems...

      Bod, the problem I have with "we" is that while you and I enjoy hanging out here, AFAIK (please correct me if I'm wrong) we have not contributed one iota to the actual maintenance and smooth running of the Perl Monks web site.

      Though I think I was the first to use HTML Image Miniatures at Perl Monks (way back in 2007) I was asked politely but firmly not to do it again by someone who does contribute to the smooth running of this web site. That is why I haven't done it again and caution others who do, simply out of respect for the folks who put in the unpaid hard work of keeping this site running smoothly.
