in reply to Pity da foo who misspells Monastery

Heh, heh. I understand. Believe me---I understand. Now I know where that ''a'' from ''seperate'' went. (Have you seen that ''a'' and ''e'' at a party together?) ;) But seriously, why should we worry about such things? Maybe all the time we spent on learning how to spell ''Monastery'' right went into learning how to do really cool stuff with Perl for a few other people. I couldn't care less if they spell ''cat'' wrong, as long as they don't misspell P.E.R.L.

    Yes, like how to use the functions raverse, sorte, and whyl loops.
    I'm just kidding/exaggerating, but spelling is important when coding. Just to widen the scope a little bit...attention to detail is *important* when coding.

    True, it's a simple mistake to posts to an extremely user friendly site, but the subject still made a pretty interesting (fun, in the least) conversation...IMHO.

      =) That's what I was trying to get at with spelling "P.E.R.L." right. I guess your module include would look something like this:

      use English "SpellingChallenged";

      I agree. It's been fun. --
