This is exactly what is wrong with Perlmonks and a great deal of other forums. You end up with people spitting out the same old drivel over and over and over again. 95% of the people have no idea what they're talking about, but nobody's disagreed with them so far, so they must be right, right?
Wrong. The people that could correct you don't bother. They have better things to do.
I could go on for about a couple megs or so about consequences and variations of this, but I have better things to do. And yes, I am an elitist asshole.

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.
