Hello storm5510 and welcome to the monastery and to wonderful world of Perl!

Membership here can be.. fun, as fun can be sometimes real life. One of the mottos is Clear questions and runnable code get the best and fastest answer (as I read it in the meanwhile in the top left corner of the page) and, as you can imagine if you passed the age of reason, is a good behaviour.

Many times even poor questions are answered kindly, in the hope the newcomer will be better in the future. Sometime happens. Sometimes. See a very recent example.

About searching/asking: structured and readable questions are better and also to do some research on your own on the site is welcome and often lead directly to a solution. This is incredible: Perl evolved a lot in the last 20 years of perlmonks life, but code from such remote era is still valid most of the times. But many things happened, many useful modules have been uploaded to CPAN and many new monks signed here, so sometimes is also good to reask a question possibly specifying what already found.

Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.

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.
