Thank You for the reply and the thought you put into it.

I'm taking your suggestions re slurping and the hash variant under serious consideration (and not responding directly to those, right now, because first I have to be sure I didn't miss something; that I understand your intent; and that I know how and where to implement them).

As to your point re specifying the v. in use5.018, I understand but choose to post with info for the reader on just what I used to run the script. While a downward revision might be 'kind' (as in "changing it so as to save another Monk the trouble of doing so") but might sometimes leave that individual without the info re what v. I used and would always incure extra work for me.

Update: fixed in para 2: s/reading/reader/

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
