for the record, people not being computer professionals shouldn't be a prerequisite for using this site IMHO

Is this a ~~dagger~~ double negative i see before me? Don't they cancel each other out in the english language (similar to perl)? So wait, that would be... hmhmhmhmoneinmindhmhm... "people being computer professionals should be a prerequisite for using this site".

Sorry, just pulling your leg. I just could not resist.

Don't use '#ff0000':
use Acme::AutoColor; my $redcolor = RED();

You're absolutely right, I should stop updating posts while talking to people on the train home, clearly it's not working out too well for me. The point I was trying to make was that IMHO this isn't just a site for "professionals".	[reply]

Come to think of it, implementing the original would put us PerlMonks in the long run at the same level as the dodo: Extinct. Don't use '#ff0000': use Acme::AutoColor; my $redcolor = RED(); All colors subject to change without notice.	[reply]
