<<bows deeply>> I beg forgiveness from... from... <<looks around>> .... some anonymous detractor...<<shrug>>

I plead guilty - the problem was not my own but in the spirit of compassion I tried to help someone look for an answer to a question. In my haste indeed I failed to check CPAN... Note to self, add "check CPAN first" to mantra right after "use strict"

Many humble thanks to those monks who offered their assistance & with such alacrity and generosity.

As I stated previously, no one had apparently asked this question on the site before, as evidenced by my failed attempt at wielding Super Search. It is my humble hope that the next fool such as I might now have the benefit of finding an answer in this way.

To answer your question I would think that sharing knowledge free from condescention would be a precept of what we teach here also.. Though clearly I have just failed at doing so myself.

Again, apologies.. Sumimasen!

And again, many thanks.. Domo Arigato!
