Calm your temper, brother.
  1. My snippets were incomplete only insofar as they didn't include an array of test data - which by his second post the original author obviously had already understood how to construct.
  2. But this is a novice asking a Perl question. Theorizing without any relevance to his reality is meaningless. Besides, I would discourage the style your code displays in any setting. And obviously it doesn't generate any warnings when you switch warnings off; switch them on and see how many it gives you.
  3. I did not boast anything. I am not here to prove myself a better programmer than you or anyone, I am here to learn and, where possible, help others learn. If you do not want to be taught, that is your choice, but a pity.
  4. Sorry, but when I see bad code (and sorry, but I can't bring myself to call it anything else), especially in a post replying to a newbie who seeks advice, then I feel compelled to offer correction - lest the newbie gets into habits he will have to unlearn again later. The intentions you read into my post do not exist. But I believe that the intentions people read into other people's actions are a reflection of their own self.
