...programmers who create multiple packages in one file, and each package has subroutines with the same name. (So if I call the sub do_something, which one is it calling?)
...managers who decide to switch compilers two weeks before the code is sent to formal analysis
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
