Actually I have to agree with jcwren. I write crappy perl-code.
I started programming perl close to the date I joined PM.
I don't have years of experience like some of you have here. Actually I started
programming 6 months ago before that I installed and maintained
hardware and software.
So don't expect from me nice code, but with comming to PM I learn
how not to code. I get sometimes amazed with the solutions given here
PM to different problems and the comments given on code, with this
interaction I learn a great deal and sometimes prevent me from
making mistakes...

I still hope PM remains like it is a helpfull community and we are
all willing to help others.
This is why I think it's important that higher level monks keep
they're motivation to point out what lower level monks are doing wrong.
