in thread can't use string as a SCALAR ref while strict refs

UPDATE

I have posted a patch to improve the hints that are provided, and an article about it to New hints..... I really welcome any comments regarding it.


Well. I suppose my tone comes across wrong. That was meant to sound friendly, but on rereading I can see your point. OTOH there are a variety of posts that I suspect come from this individual, and yes I did consider at least one (please see Nodes To Consider). Since it seemed like this was the same person I felt it was worth pointing out that there are markup tools available on the site.

Also, as a second thought when you read this site its pretty clear that is possible to write a well formatted post, so when he saw that his wasnt well formatted it should have been clear that he was missing something. It may be that the advice needs to be clearer (I would say that legal tags should be listed above the text box, per user settings but thats another debate) but either way posting something that looks like that to me is just an indication of lazyness and the wrong kind of lazyness, like leaving out strictures cause its too much typing.
