There is nothing to be ashamed of.

Writing in all caps is a common issue.

Spelling is not an issue; we have many cultures and many native languages amongst the esteemed peers in our profession. English is not always the first language, and even when it is, not everyone has that particular skill. As you may note, I never once mentioned spelling in my advice.

There is nothing to forgive. I was not offended. I was merely trying to help. Part of helping in this case was giving you an opportunity to see how you might be perceived differently than you'd intended. If it helps you, I am glad to have helped. If it does not help you, maybe someone else will be.

As regards the technical challenge you face -- I am trying to help you. But we are having some communication problems. I hope to be able to help you further, as we clear those out.

I will write no more of the social aspect of this; either I have helped you or I have not, and Time alone will tell this tale. I will, however, respond to the technical issues in that part of the thread.

Relax, friend. We're all Perl people here. :-)
