I note that on merlyn's web site he refers to Programming Perl as a book "I helped write which no longer acknowledge me as a contributor because of company politics". When an edition of a book with new authors comes out the common practice in publishing is to include all the past contributors names in the credits no matter how much the content has changed. The 2nd edition of Programming Perl is a classic. O'Reilly does Mr. Schwartz a real disservice by erasing attribution of his contributions to this work.

p.s. Accidentally typed O'Really into google getting the links for this post and got a rather bizarre result. People have WAY to much time on their hands.

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.
