in reply to Why Reaped???

We tend to reap troll posts, and yours obviously are. Your own home node is an excellent example of trollish behavior. You state the following:

****Here are some Perl tips for you newbies!*****

Managing Workfiles and Debugging Batch s‎crip‎ts:

* Begin coding the Build option of the Setup Batch file
* More techniques for debugging errors in Batch files
* Create transient working files in the TEMP folder with the emending suffix
* Use COPY to copy a file to a new destination name in a new folder
* Use COPY with a wildcard to copy multiple files in one operation
* Make subfolder structures with the MD command
* Use ECHO ON and @ECHO OFF to debug a section of problem Batch code
* Use deltree to remove subfolder structures
* Avoid stalling a s‎crip‎t when deltree prompts for y/n confirmation
* Redirect unwanted deltree reports to NUL
* Use deltree safely while developing s‎crip‎ts that use it
* Use a confirmation sub-menu for user-confirmation of major actions

Which I found is a direct cut-and-paste from an online syllabus for a course on MS-DOS batch files (not Perl at all). Here's the link: http://www.allenware.com/icsw/icswidx.htm

That's complete plagiarism, and the theme of your trolling seems obvious; confusing Perl with DOS batch file scripting. This theme is fairly obvious as it's a common thread in all your posts, plus it's carried on in your home node with the above snippet. Also note the following from your home node:

Glad to be out here I am willing to code for hire also you can message me in the chatterbox application (is that written in DOS?)

If anyone doubts your trollish intent, let them investigate and see what you're all about. Fortunately trolls get bored pretty quickly and tend to move on. See you on the next forum...
