Re^6: Regex infinite loop?

Wow! I was thinking this might be the way I would (ultimately) have to go. I was reading about TreeBuilder in "Perl & LWP" on the train this morning. I am a PERL novice -- this will be a great learning tool for me! Thank you very much.

The first step in growing from a novice to an earnest student of Perl is never ever write "PERL". The language is called Perl and the implementation is perl, but "PERL" makes you stand out as someone who knows nothing about it and from your code it is clear you are well past that point.

There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James	[reply]
