If you consider that a "rip on people", you've not been around here for very long.
{grin}
On a more serious note... has it really gotten so weird in here that I can't even point out when code won't compile?
What boilerplate do I need to precede every posting with? Something like:
Attention!
The following comment is never meant personally. You are not your code. I most likely do not even know you personally, and don't make presumptions about your character or habits based on a single posting. I'm only commenting on the ability for the code you posted to do its stated task, with particular attention being paid to :
- Security
- Maintainability
- Avoiding needless reimplementation
- Contribution to the community
If I sound like I'm flaming, please re-read the message
a few more times until you see that it's about the code and the Perl community, and not about you personally.
That is all. Thank you.

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).

are good places to start.
