Re: simple newb question

OMG! Thank you for the help. It was a simple gaff I did. Yes I will slap myself for that, and thank you guys for the help. I will try and be more thorough with my debugging in the future.

#usr/bin/perl -w

#=for  comment
#pseudocode:

#start event loop
 #   gather input, then act on input # actions are print statements
   

#=cut

$quit = 0; $answer = "blank";
while ($quit == 0) {
    print "Do you want to loop?\n";
    $answer = <STDIN>;
    print $answer;
}

Great job homie... but what I was hoping for, was you entering into your original post (OP) and fix that :) You're on your way! Also, while you're editing your OP, it would be cool if you could make the title more descriptive. I'm not trying to be disrespectful, I'm just trying to show you the ropes so that the Janitors don't have to exert energy ;) Keep up your good work.	[reply]
Re^3: simple newb question (updates) by tye (Sage) on Jun 13, 2012 at 06:28 UTC
Please don't put non-trivial updates via editing a node (nor encourage others to do so). We have tons of tools for making it easier for people to notice which new nodes have been posted recently. We don't have (and never will have) good tools to make it easy for people to notice recent significant updates to nodes that they have already read and would like to keep up-to-date on the progress of that thread (not only because separating significant updates from trivial updates is a rather hard problem to do well). Non-trivial updates are best signaled by the creation of a new node (a new reply), especially when that new node actually contains the update. - tye	[reply]
