I tend to disclaim whether the code is known to be good or not. I've only posted small tidbits, and usually from a working program, in order to get around to my problem (like Referents Anonymous.) where I will write what I'm attempting to do.

But I tend not to write code in the majority of my posts, instead relying on the fact that theory translates better than code for problems we may all be facing at some point.

As for the braces problem, for verbs, the braces start on the line below, but subs keep the braces on the same row. It's actually got a method to the madness. In the case of a verb, the code may get executed, and thusly, I don't want to be led into the code by my eyes while I'm reading over it. In the case of a sub (although it has a verb name), once I get to a sub, it will be executed, and so I do want my eyes led into the code. It's a case of "I might" vs. "I will".

ALL HAIL BRAK!!!

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
