It's a hell of a lot nicer than my first Perl program, that's for sure. I learned Perl by dissecting scripts I found on the web, so I picked up all the bad practices involved with that(imagine learning from Matt Wright's scripts, and other such scripts available on the web). I didn't use strict or warnings, all global variables, stole a CGI parsing routine(one very similar to this, with some tweaks I added of my own), used nothing but flatfile ascii databases with "|:|" or some other uncommon string separating fields... It was a nightmare.

Be thankful you started out on the right path, it took me a long time to learn the error of my ways and become comfortable with the concepts that I should have been learning from the beginning(thank god for Coping with Scoping, that's all I can say).

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.
