Peer pressure, definitely.

Several years ago, some guys at a company I worked for in Sydney decided to setup an internal IRC server. So everybody in the office would chat away on IRC everyday (this was before IM became popular).

Anyway, the "haves" (those that knew Perl) would be forever showing off in front of the "have-nots" (those that didn't) by pasting their fancy one-liners into the IRC channel.

Eventually it got the better of me and I had to get into the act. I still can't write a decent one-liner to save myself, but hey - it's been fun :)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
