in reply to Elements of Programming with Perl

I'm assuming that "MSA" means "Matt's Script Archive" but I'm not familiar with "Selena Sol" ... care to enlighten the unwashed among us?

Philosophy can be made out of anything -- or less

    the learned ybiC is correct. neither MSA nor Selena Sol was able to provide enlightenment - though I may point out the Selena's code was WAY tighter than MSA's now that i can look back on it. Anyway, stick to the monastery and be thankful to be among the enlightened. : )

    I hadn't heard of Selena Sol either, arturo.   But I take the point to be that neither MSA nor SS provide enlightenment, and that both should be shunned by the faithful.

    For what it's worth, I'm just plain lucky.   Missed MSA and SS, finding the Monastery instead when I needed to learn more than rudimentery Perl for logfile processing.   I have a *lot* to learn, thankfully not to un-learn.

    If you really want to see Another Way Not To Do It, www.google.com is pretty effective.   Ask tilly.   {grin}   (about Google, not about "how not to do it")

    Update:   "learned ybiC..."
    Thanks for the compliment, jptxs.   8^)   Wish I deserved it.
