editing raw HTML - from writing nodes :) Mmh. But you still forget to close your `<li>`-tags ;-) holli, /regexed monk/	[reply] [d/l]

Rats. I used `<li/>` tags, but they got changed to unclosed `<li>` tags. Obviously can't use that trick. Ah well, there's something else I learned from PM :) Perl is Huffman encoded by design.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

End LI tags are optional in HTML.	[reply]

The closing li tags were optional in HTML, up through middle-to-late 1990s. This is no longer true for any even remotely recent version of HTML. The last several versions of HTML are XML document types, so all tags must be closed. Don't live in 1998: close your tags.	[reply]

Ah yes, I completely forgot to mention Data::Dumper! That's one of mine too. I really need to explore look-ahead and -behind regexes as well.	[reply]

Ill toot my own horn and point out Data::Dump::Streamer as well. Its basically a replacement for Data::Dumper but with mor accuracy, finer control and cleaner output. If you have a C compiler available (ie you need to be able to build XS) then you should at least give it a go. Be sure to arrange that the DDS shortcut module is installed. (by running perl makefile.pl DDS). Why this is relevent to the thread is that PM changed me from someone who could only use and admire Data::Dumper to someone who can and has written something similar and maybe in some ways even better. Thats a lot to learn :-) --- $world=~s/war/peace/g	[reply]

I was just wondering why you chose to go with a new package instead of campaigning to replace the existing one in the standard distribution? Incompatibilities? Uphill struggle to replace the entrenched? What was the decision process here? -- `[ e d @ h a l l e y . c c ]`	[reply]
