Preface: I did a fast research with the words snippet update, and didn't find any useful title. If this has already been asked just point me to the right node, thanks.
Dear Monks
Days ago I posted a code snippet for which I received some advice by merlyn, Abigail-II and zentara (thanks guys).
I'd like to update it a little (a couple of lines or so) to make it work a bit better, but I fear that doing so I'd change the context under their comments, making them meaningless.
So, what's one supposed to do in this case? Updating the snippet anyway, putting in a warning? Write the corrected snippet in a reply to the first version? Write a brand new snippet?
Thanks for any advice

The very nature of Perl to be like natural language--inconsistant and full of dwim and special cases--makes it impossible to know it all without simply memorizing the documentation (which is not complete or totally correct anyway).
