That means (in my really not good english) that I present a "solution" for a problem that troubled me some time ago.

I also read the Perl Monks Guide stating about meditations:
<it> Have you found out something amazing about Perl that you just need to share with everyone. Have you had a Perl epiphany, or found something in Perl that just blows your mind. This is the place for those neat little tricks and amazing discoveries. </it>

I have no problem to accept that it doesn't qualify as a meditation, after all that's what moderation is for. As it's wrong (well, it isn't even wrong. As usually TIMTOWTDI ?) the moderators felt they should send it to questions, fine with me. But I think it was clear that I was NOT asking for a solution.... Just a discussion By the way, Seekers of Perl Wisdom says:
<it> The place you can go when you have got a question on how to do something or are unsure why something just isn't working. Then other monks can offer you their wisdom and suggestions. </it>
so it doesn't belong there either (as it's not a question, and the code IS working).

Please read the Guide to the Monastery before suggesting.
