Re^7: out of memory problem

o wrap the output up in
tags for viewing clarity in the various sections listings.

Not sure that I agree unless it is a top level node, but if there concensus is that all code blocks over some minimal length should be readmore wrapped, then it seems like something that could be done automatically?

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

I don't know anything about consensus, but I for one find it annoying: at a first glance I recognize it as the output of `perl -V` and I know I'm only interested in it if I'm interested and knowledegeable enough in the OP's problem to want to delve into it and read it carefully. Otherwise it makes for a longish stream of text to scroll down and find the nodes below it to see if they give a concise answer already. (Funnily enough quite recently someone asked me to remove readmore tags from a post -iirc How not to hardcode a package name?, but I'm not sure- which I think requires them.) `--` If you can't understand the incipit, then please check the IPB Campaign.
