OK, this must be said.

You came to the monastery with a (badly-formed) question. Half a dozen monks each with decades of experience have pointed out that your basic premise is Wrong. Yet in every response you cling to that premise (without explaining the reasons for your misguided belief). I, for one, am finished trying to help you; as a matter of fact I don't think you will get any help here that will be of use to you until you open your mind to the possibility that you have made some incorrect assumptions.

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

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.
