I like it. To stretch the metaphor of the "Monastary" a bit it's kinda like breaking dogma and boldly declaring that your fellow monks aren't as pious as they thought they were. There are a number of examples of the truly devout breaking away from traditional teachings after they've become "corrupted."

XP down to zero. No XP gained or loss. You have definitely achieved the status of "Zen PerlMonk." (Heck, if this becomes a trend maybe the site can be altered to make that an official title for those who follow your path.)

Repeat after me: There is no XP. :-)

• 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.
