O.K., folks, it's time to vent some venom, blow off some steam, push the red button on a big dose of catharsis, whatever. You know you want to. You know you need to. So let's have it.
The subject of this round is
There's a level of Hell reserved for ___________.
Perl-related venting only, please. Or at least keep it technical. Go Anonymous if you must, but please no picking on fellow monks.
- There's a level of Hell reserved for people who write "as_string" methods that have significant side-effects.
- There's a level of Hell reserved for people who write great, massive blocks of comments that have, at best, a fictional relationship to the code that follows.
- There's a level of Hell reserved for people who sneak in "fixes" at the very, very last possible moment, breaking a release in the process.
- There's a level of Hell reserved for Product Managers who decide to change the name of the product after you're in code freeze.
- There's a very special level of Hell reserved for Sales droids who sell customers stuff that you don't make, and then forget to tell you until the customer is on-site for a training class.
- There's a special row of seats in Purgatory for people who write "PERL".

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
