What he's saying is that it should be followed if you want to make your life easier.

Do you (or does he) care to elaborate? I think it depends on requirements. It is a convention, and so it often is followed. OTOH, it's just a convention, and it often is not followed. I think the current state of affairs has come about by real world pressures. Without explanation, I think the gentleman is, at best, oversimplifying.

Well, keeping in mind that it is assumed that your GETs never change server state, then it makes a lot of sense considering the problem he is trying to address.

I must be missing something. What's the problem he is trying to solve with redirects?

Note that if you think I "accused" you of writing C-ish Perl, then at the same time I "accused" myself of writing LISP-ish Perl.

Oh, I know. And I did take it a bit personally, I guess. Really, that's because of the associations to both C and LISP that I have in my own mind. Things like... LISP: pure, clean, fun. C: applied, messy, work. It's also ingrained into me that "writing C in Perl" is something to be avoided. I do know that your comment wasn't pejorative, though. ;-)

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.
