in reply to I am having a problem with search and replace regarding "

If this is the same person that just asked the identical question on freenode #Perl, you really ought to declare that you're taking resources from parallel locations at once, so we don't waste time answering a question that has already been answered in another forum.

If it isn't, you should have been on #perl just now. {grin}

    I disagree. Such an advisory is meaningless, useless, and a waste of time to those who inhabit only the one space or the other (e.g., nearly everyone on PerlMonks); and for you few who inhabit both spaces, the advisory would be redundant.

    Besides, it's not a problem to ask in a channel/chatroom/chatterbox and (possibly later) in a persistent forum like this. Quite the contrary, as the PerlMonks site docs show.

    We're building the house of the future together.

    Be interesting to see if OP gets a better answer here than there. :)

        Success

        I agree the answer may be 'correct', but I don't think you can declare it a 'success' when the person goes to another forum and asks the same question.
