A couple things I might point out:

• First, as a new user at perl monks, I'm very sorry that I have posted this inappropriately. When I talked about this in the CB this morning, it was suggested that something like this would have been better postded in CUFP, if at all.
• Second, I agree with you that the code is in and of itself horrible, but I believe I clarified that in the code description.
• Third, I appologize that there is even still a link to to the offsite link on my homenode. I initially removed it when I realized what I had done, but replaced it when another monk asked me in the CB to replace it. It will be removed very soon and will no longer clutter the sanctity of the catacombs.
• Fourth, this node has already been considered for reaping, and I have had a discussion with the monk who considered it. I'm aware that I made a bad post.

I'm just trying to be a part of this community and that includes learning from my mistakes. I didn't post that link trying to hurt or offend anybody, and I'm not trying to start a flame-war here. Remember that I haven't been coding near as long as you, and I'm just looking for chunks of Perl wisdom from experienced programmers such as yourself. I'd appreciate you send me a private message telling me exactly what I did that was reprehensible if you feel it is worth your time. If you don't, that's fine too. It seems as though I'm building a reputation for myself on PerlMonks as a black sheep. I can live with that, I've been a black sheep all my life. In any case, I hope other initiates can learn from my errors so they don't repeat them. That being said, thank you for your response, and I'll try to learn what I can from it.
