in reply to formatted hash problem

There are a few things wrong with this, Spooky:

  1. Do use tags properly (see Markup in the Monastery and Writeup Formatting Tips; narrative goes in <p>...</p>
  2. At least, link to previous (possibly a use for hashes?); probably better to add to that thread or state your remaining problems coherently and comprehensively.
  3. SOPW should not address a specific Monk
  4. Do use tags properly (see Markup in the Monastery and Writeup Formatting Tips; narrative goes in <p>...</p>
  5. Show some effort (for example, if you're "not sure how Perl would handle 021: (sic) an exponential value" try delving into the docs).
  6. This is not code-a-matic!

After 70+ posts, you're well past deserving any slack on these fundamentals. - -.

    WW- I relayed to Kenneth I printed off "Writeup Formatting Tips" in addition to "How (Not) To Ask A Question." I also printed "A Guide to PerlMonks Acronyms and Abbreviations" as I didn't know what "SoPW" meant. By the way (BTW?), is this an OK format to respond to you or other Monks if it's strictly just a response?

      1. No, use a private message (from the CB).
      2. No need to print; save a tree. Those links are readily available, especially if you put them in your Free Nodelet.

      ...and yes ( ;-) ), this violates the precepts in the first bullet... but maybe it will be seen and heeded someday by someone who happens upon it.
