When I wrote "we don't have a lot to go on", that wasn't intended as a criticism but rather a reason why I was unable to provide a more detailed answer.

The code you're working with is more than likely the intellectual property of your employer. There's a good chance that, when you started your job, you entered into some form of legally binding contract in which you agreed not to share that code with third-parties. I'd recommend that you simply do not post that code: I don't know your situation but it's possible that just asking for permission may be viewed negatively.

A better approach would be to put together minimal, generalised code that's sufficient to explain whatever questions you have and post that. This would be appropriate for module design questions as well as asking for specific "how do I do ...?" help.

We're more than happy to help, especially when you demonstrate that you've made some effort yourself. Have a look at the guidelines in "How do I post a question effectively?". You'll also find useful information in the "Posting on PerlMonks" FAQ and the "How (Not) To Ask A Question" tutorial.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
