Cross-posted on the Perl Gurus forum (http://perlguru.com/gforum.cgi?post=80875;#80875) and apparently also on Stackoverflow, but I do not know where.

Please be aware that there is nothing wrong with cross posting per se, but it is considered polite to inform people about that, to avoid duplication of work at various places of the Internet. If your question was solved somewhere else, it would be stupid for me to waste time trying to give you an answer here.

Je suis Charlie.
