Thank you for the help.

I will have to disagree with you on variable naming convention though. Because perl does not have a rule for variable naming conventions in the language and this is internal code I use a convention that helps me explain what the variable is quickly. I use multiple words that describe the data as exact as possible. I use capitals to keep multiple words from blurring instead of underscores. Now if I wanted this to be a module for CPAN I would use the perl style guide. And I would simplify the variables to be few and one worders, so all lowercase.

And I do have comments to explain variable so this is a bit overkill but when you are staring at chunks of code a good variable name will save you the second window that is stuck at your table of variable definitions.

But I think this would be more of a meditation than a discussion on a question.

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.
