Good for you. You can't really find many people as resourceful as you prove yourself to be. I'm awfully glad that you used the Perl documentation. I'm even more happy about how you searched for it and combined your results. That way you learn something while helping another learn.

You know, you don't always have to answer Perl questions. When I first got here all I did was post in Meditations and Perlmonks Discussion. I got pretty involoved this way and looked over the questions to solve any problems I might have. This is much more efficient then creating a new node.

So overall, it seems as if you are in a good start here. You have definitely gotten the respect from me as well as other monks. Keep up the good work. :-)
