If you take a look at Re: Re: Parsing Text into Arrays.., you'll see that not only did I have to go back and clean up my code, I had to go back again and correct a major flaw that I later found.

The truth is, that were I currently in a position of needing to employ a coder, I would probably rather employ you than myself.

My efforts here are nothing more than a learning exercise (for me) and a hobby. I hope that posters benefit from my efforts, but my primary goal is the enjoyment of the doing and learning for my own benefit. I'm much to enamored with the fun of coding and exploring perl.

I use PM as a ready source of varied, real-life problems for me to solve that cause me to stretch myself into areas that I might otherwise never go. That, and the occasional good debate on perl-related matters (I wish there were more!) are my motivation for coming here.

There are many points you raise that I would love to discuss further, but that would probably be seen as grand standing, so suffice it to say; Thankyou for taking the time to respond so thoughtfully and thoroughly.

I guess I should adopt a theorbtwo style Caveat implementor clause as a signature.

Examine what is said, not who speaks.

The 7th Rule of perl club is -- pearl clubs are easily damaged. Use a diamond club instead.
