Off topic - please folks, use [id://xxx] tags when linking to other nodes on this site. Using these tags requires a little more work on your behalf (like finding the blasted node number), but it prevents bad links!

This is not intended to single jeroenes out by any means. I just thought this would be a good time and place to gripe, since the topic is still fresh.

In case you weren't careless like me, clicking on the link provided above results in massively wastefull CPU time on the PerlMonks server while making your browser wait in deadlock until the search results are generated.

Easy to do, and i hope it wasn't my tutorial you were trying to consider ;)

jeffa

UPDATE:
tye fixed the prob - the link originally pointed to Notes To Consider for those wondering. :) (example link pointed to parent node to protect the innocent and to prevent further CPU spinning)

• 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.
