You must be referring to the code over at Re: Re: Hex color degrader. I decided to take the 'Pepsi Challenge'™, and - not to best you - i thought it would be benificial for the community to post a very similar solution that used CGI.pm's methods: (refer to said link for orginal code)

print start_table, Tr(td('&nbsp;'), th[@colors]);

for my $scale ( -5 .. +5 ) {
   print Tr(td($scale/10)),
      Tr( 
         map { td{bgcolor=>'#'.$_},$_ } 
         map { Dlighken($_, $scale/10) } @colors
      )
   ;
}

print end_table;

Thanks to your existing code, it only took me about 5 minutes or so to port - however, when one considers how much total time that i have spent learning how to massage CGI.pm, i feel that your argument here bears even more weight. I liken this to playing a musical instrument - the time one spends practicing different scales, licks, chops, etc. will, in the long run, improve one's improv skills. But, when on the spot ... it's best to stick with what one knows right now.

Cool code, BTW. :)

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.


No such thing as a small change
