Fair enough. I guess it was a bit of a knee jerk reaction. I'm just not fond of those who blame the tool instead of the user (and to me that seemed to be what the author was doing). The presentation seemed a little cavalier to me.
I'm mediocre at best (but improving, thanks perl monks) and tend to be very paranoid. However, it still seems horrifically lax not to look up these sorts of things (to me at least). I do mostly data munging so I'm hardly an expert. You are right though. Consider me properly chastised. :)

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
