A troll is not something one can decide to become, it is a social function, and if you suffer from embodying this function, you should become aware of its natural necessity: without troll there would be no mob and thence no fun.

So rejoice: it's not your fault. Accept: Troll pride!

On the level of programming, I think that you could perhaps maintain a page somewhere on the web, where people could find an example of what your code does so anyone could understand your lament without having to scan the Perl monks site for older messages (with dead links). But they told you already...

Finally I can only insist on keeping indulgent for all the professional programmers who manifest their anger or their superiority at your imaginativeness: you might well be a misunderstood genius. Personnally I have found a new information paradigm that would change the face of the world... Unfortunately I'm not sure, it could simply be working, without being too stupid nor too useful, nor too clever either, and it's really badly written.

Indulgence is required also because of the benefits you can draw from the situation: don't forget that social welfare is often forbidden to your employed contradictors: think social! In many countries, trollness can ensure a monthly rent that would at least, render life feasible. You see: there's always light! Do as I say, and youl'll come to appreciate your condition: Troll solidarity!
