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

multiple + other -- most of those would influence whether or not I use it. And a few other influencing params:

  • it works for me
  • it's the only interface (or most-readily available interface) for an external library
  • using the approximate solution found in the CPAN module was easier than coding a whole exact solution by myself
  • using the premade solution had better edge-case coverage than what I came up with
  • which criteria was used depended on the exact specifications for the code being developed
  • it works on Windows with Strawberry Perl, not just on linux
    → aka "good cross-platform compatibility"
  • it works on an ancient machine with perl v5.8 (or preferably v5.6)

and though this hasn't influenced me yet, I know it does some monks:

  • it's small enough to fit on (insert favorite small embedded system with a tiny perl here)

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.
