Ree, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here and assume you saw a question you liked, didn't quite understand the answers given and maybe hoped you could get answers you understood better here.

It doesn't change a thing.

Informing the site is not the problem here. Presenting other people's work without giving them credit for it is the problem. Someone else, not you, worked hard to come up with a good question. You dishonor them by not giving them credit for the question and presenting it as your own. It is not enough to have a blind link to the stack flow site. You must name the person who wrote the work.

As far as permission and apologies - forget the institution of stack flow. It is the real live people who worked on those questions from whom you need to ask both permission and forgiveness.

You don't owe apologies to us. You, at present, owe apologies to

• lorin for Reaped: Why do you need $ when accessing array and hash elements in Perl?
• Pat - for Why does the Perl conditional operator not do what I expect?
• mike for What’s the best way to get the last N elements of a Perl array?
• Nathan Fellman - for What’s the difference between iterating over a file with foreach or while in Perl?
• Omnipresent for Getting number of results from google in perl program
• J for Should I escape shell arguments in Perl?.
• Eric Johnson for Why do I need to know how many tests I will be running with Test::More?

Best, beth
