Re: Re: Calling Interrupts from Perl

Blake, Since you like *public forums*, I thought I would reply to you here. I know what ESR says and keep in mind that he is not god (He lives nearby - West Chester,PA). I put my email in the message and asked for replies to BOTH here and my email. Why? Because I spend a ton of time on various sites and writing Open Source software and wasn't sure if I'd have time to get back here.
Secondly, Once I figure out hos to accomplish this I intend to write a perl module for everyone to use. I'm hoping to avoid building a .xs in C.

So - if this sounds like a flame directed towards you - it is sort of.
I've been working with the Internet since before it was called the Internet, and I just get tired of people in recent time getting so F**KING wound up all the time.

Perhaps you misunderstood my point... When I came across your node it was on the Worst Nodes of The Day list (at -4), even though it contained a valid question. I was just giving you a friendly nudge to let you know why people were downvoting your node. At the very least, you should have explained why someone kind enough to answer your question should also shoulder the burden of replying in a non-standard way. "Also send me an email because I check my email more often than I check perlmonks" isn't as bad as "Also send me email because I'm a taker and never plan on coming back." You would have done well to distinguish between them. -Blake Last time I posted this quote I noted my feelings on ESR (which are somewhat short of godly) but it isn't really relevant what I think of the author....
