( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

castaway,
This subject has been discussed several times before.

Off topic nodes are just something that you can't avoid in a site like this.

I am not saying that I indiscriminately approve of OT nodes, but I don't refuse an answer when I have it, even if I feel that the question isn't entirely on topic.

The Monastery has been answering OT questions (database, shell scripts, Windows services, Unix daemons, and so on) for long time, just because Perl programming does not happen in a vacuum.

However, the most important reason why people are asking for help here, is that you first ask the ones you trust, even if you know that it might not be the most appropriate place.

On this subject, you may find enlightening the following posts as well.

The Monastery has already its weapons to protect itself against the OT invasion, i.e. monks with "considering" powers can vote to keep or delete a node. It's a democratic system, which seems to be working fine, IMO.

Update. Fixed some wording problems.

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.
