in thread s/PERL/Perl/g on new posts

By definition, if I ask for help with a problem, then I'm am clueless (at least wrt the problem). What I care about more than that is: Will they learn from my answer? I don't think their usage of "PERL" determines this.

Some folks are just so brand spanking new and eager to learn that we don't need to kill their enthusiasm with a witty diatribe of PERL vs Perl vs perl. If they have any learning potential they'll figure this useless bit of trivia out eventually, and if not they'll leave PM eventually and end up doing something easier like flipping burgers.

    Oops... looks like I missed the <joke> ... </joke> tags around that post. I'll try to remember them in future.

      Humor, on a Monday morning, without some kind of tag? You trolled me into being clueless while talking about cluelessness. Well done. :-)
