• Point taken. i did provide a link.
• Were the question "How do i use Crypt::Blah", i would have had no problem.
• I don't care if things are mis-spelled, or in poor grammer ... whatever your first language. I do not downvote for that.
• I like short, but i also like to know i am not doing someone homework.

I see alot of people in the CB wondering why they got downvoted for this or that, and i thought it was friendly to let people know, so they don't wonder. <sarcasm> I see i was mistaken ... i will downvote as an Anonymous Coward from here on out. <sarcasm>
