Re^3: s/// in a sub : passing expressions

There is no need to be so melodramatic when mentioning the issue.

This site has many newbies. It is only fair to warn them: even if the OP probably knows it, then there are still many lurkers who may not. They can find out details themselves, so I don't feel a need to further describe when and how it is dangerous.

How do you know what he thinks? Absolutism and assumptions, all of this.

Apparently not your style. It is mine, though. Please stfu and let me express myself the way I prefer.

The absolutism and assumptions are obvious and not to be taken too literally.

Who asked?

For the record, would you please specify who asked for your whining?

If all information were in Q&A form, life would seem even more complex than it actually is.

More like Perl 6 spam...

I'm glad to see you get the point! Good!

Would you please curb your enthusiasm and answer those questions only after someone asks them?

No way.

Or perhaps just write a series of meditations;

"Or"?

And. I've done one already, and had another planned (mostly written, see scratchpad), but I'm holding it off while I further investigate whether what I have written is actually correct. There will probably be more. Together, you might call this a series.

It is only fair to warn them: even if the OP probably knows it, then there are still many lurkers who may not. It is fair to give them a measured warning. That does not include attempting scare them away from perfectly useful tools with your histrionics. That is neither fair to them nor is it fair to the Perl community which continually goes to lengths trying to show the usefulness of Perl and expand its acceptance. Please stfu and let me express myself the way I prefer. Please gtfu (g for "grow") and show some maturity. This isn't a playground. You are a smart kid, Juerd but if you want to stand out in a good way, you will realize you are around professionals here and try to conduct yourself accordingly. More like Perl 6 spam... I'm glad to see you get the point! Good! OK. I see. You are an admitted spammer who refuses to change his ways. So be it.	[reply]
