Re^3: "if" and compound statement

Sure, and if the OP had said he was a six year old Perl newbie I might have offered other good life advice too. But this is a Perl oriented site and the OP gave no such indication so I didn't. Strictures, strict in particular, are such useful tools for catching typos and other errors, that suggesting their use to self avowed Perl newbies is pretty much always good advice.

But eating veggies is also always a good advice. This is a Perl programmer oriented site, and the OP did not give any indication he isn't a human, so it's a good thing for him to eat veggies. And fruit. Of course, it's utterly irrelevant for the problem he's asking about, but so are the strictures and warnings. Perhaps you ought to read: Why I left Perl	[reply]

Perhaps YOU ought to read it. That post is about scolding, repetition and reproach in the Perl community. Those are the things YOU are doing!	[reply]
