Dear Anonymous Monk

Thank you very much for your explanation and your encouraging words. You are right, creating code for a particular task is different than reading the book(s) and going through the exercises.

I think I still lack this eye for detail and sometimes I am aware of the problem but cannot figure out how to put the solution into code syntax.

Such was the case with File::Bom. I just did not know how to add to that particular part of the subroutine (not enough practice with modules and objects).

Thank you also for introducing Carp, I will have a go at it.

Thanks a mil again for your support, makes the whole a bit easier and it surely is more fun. (This goes for all contributors btw)

Kind regards

C.
