Grashoper,

Please include the code here for your SoPW question. Not only is it inconvenient to have two click through two links to get to it (since you didn't include a link to grashoper's scratchpad, but it also removes the permanance of your question from PerlMonks.

Your content will disappear when you delete it from your scratchpad, and SoPW's are not supposed to work like that. The context for all of the replies will also be completely lost when that happens.

Update:

And furthermore,

• Your actual question is on one node, and the code is on another, so I have to switch between both for context
• You haven't boiled the problem down to its essence -- there's way to much code there to consider. Could you please only include the critical bits of code to make it easier for us to help you?

Thanks
