Macphisto, I didn't see your original post, but it sounds as if you simply posted something incorrect. That doesn't excuse any -- votes (and I'm giving you ++, because a wrong answer does not deserve a vote-down in SoPW).

However, let me encourage you not to simply remove your original post. There is a much better chance for others to learn something if you will just modify your post by adding an update tag, like:
Update: LSD flashbacks caused me to confuse valid Perl code with Mork and Mindy's home phone number. Here is what I should have said...

That way, you can avoid negative votes (which, again, should not happen simply for incorrect posts) for your original post, and even more negative votes for a "deleted" post.

Thanks for posting, and welcome to our community.
