in thread Working through it...

Peace and love :)

Quote "You're just learning how to use arrays and hashes in Perl. You've already spent several days getting this far; expect to spend at least that long figuring out robust parsing of the XML you've shown. Your reach exceeds your grasp, which is not a bad thing, but you've chosen a particularly pernicious task to learn"

I know i'm hitting my head against a wall... But if I don't, i'll put the books away and start playing WoW again :P I've got some recommended books to read, that aren't beginner, but intermediate. I'll spend days or months till I start hammering out working code. I love coding, or even the attempt. When I eventually manage to hammer out something working, something 'signature me', I smile inside :) I was just hired into an internet company, with hours that will allow me to code a lot and still earn enough to live, plus they're giving me a new laptop :) (Obviously i'm not coding for them though)
