in thread map and regexp. An newbie question

Aha! At any rate, this was definitely a learning experience for me too; I was so scared when you asked if I'd tried it that I'll likely never venture into an area where I'm not 110% sure without trying first again!

"In general, Perl operators do exactly what you want, unless you want consistency."

This seems to hit the mark exactly! :)

(P.S. I've had your home node bookmarked on my personal nodelet for sometime, as you have an amazing list of books I need to look at!)

    Don't be afraid to be wrong once in awhile. There are an army of friends here ready to correct you. ;)

    For the most part, we are among friends, and remember, the only person who is never wrong is Larry Wall, because when his opinion differs from everyone else's, it's everyone else who must take corrective action.
