Here's some help, albeit not the kind you asked for.

The input page for new nodes has boldfaced directions for markup. As a newcomer, you are also required to preview the post.

Your post suggests you didn't pay any attention to the ill-formatted contents as seen in the preview, and didn't read the instructions.

Hence, my suggestion: read On asking for help, How do I post a question effectively?, Markup in the Monastery and Writeup Formatting Tips and heed their content. (Hint: one of them will tell you that "not working for me" is not an adequate description of the failure; some of the others will explain how to use our (html-like) markup to make your posts readable.

Bottom line: the Monastery welcomes newcomers; is a great place to learn more about Perl (and life and why the sky is blue, if you're curious about those) but we do have some really minimal suggestions for how best to access the help given so freely, here.

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:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
