Buckaroo Buddha ok ... so i'd like to believe that i'm starting to get pretty ok at perl ... but the advice i get here is unbelievable (i really admire some of you but won't embarass anyone right now)

Buckaroo Buddha i'd like to know if people think we could add an "advice and optimization" type Q&A section ... where people with WORKING code can learn how to write GOOD code

Buckaroo Buddha or even OPTIMAL (minimal, clean, safe... etc.. )

TQuid I'd second that . . . I'm getting decent, and now one of my biggest challenges is cleaning up my stinky messes from a few months ago.

swiftone Sounds good to me. Say so in perl Monks Discussion.

thus this message ;)

swiftone that might even satisfy merlyn, by explicitly stating that the code is bad :)

Buckaroo Buddha we could call it the DOJO (or "the TRAINING-HUT")
