I once had a very wise boss who lamented the lack of a universal "do_what_I_mean" macro. He soon recognized the shortcoming of such a thing and proposed a "do_what_is_appropriate" macro. If such a macro (or function) exists in this newly discovered code, it is either "buggy" or under utilized. We could use that copy to correct itself. Should we trust it to do that? We could use the corrected version to update all the source code. (Better keep a backup. I suspect we would not be happy with the result.)

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).
