Great example of how much people entrain their personal animosities into replies on PerlMonks. Anyone who is a regular in tilly's time slice in the chatterbox knows that there's bad blood here between me and him.

The big "d/v" from me, and I usually upvote all replies to a thread I start, event hose that are critical. This wasn't "critical but interesting", rather just ill-tempered and, well, I said it above.

I'm hoping that further replies in this topic won't be influenced by the tone of this bad-natured start. Let's stay On-Topic and discuss what does and doesn't work with embedded spaces, and if anyone has some proposals of techniques for dealing with them, please present them. Let's try to avoid being sidetracked by misreadings of the original message (misrepresentations of either its objective content or its intentions, and mischaracterizations of the tone - there was no "rant". When I "rant", its generally pretty unmistakable). Thanks, all.
