<joke>chicks dig Perl !</joke>

On a serious note, I was working on a crappy VB project, for a crappy employer. The project had no spec written down (and, as is the case when nothing is written down, the spec kept changing). My insane rage fuelled moron boss was unwilling to take control of this. Late one night as he was walking out of the door, he told me to write part of the server side code required for this VB mess, which of course was in Perl. This is why I first became interested in Perl. Having seen how logical Perl was, I got hooked. To me Perl just makes sense.

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.
