Eric again. Though it is true that I'm not a big fan of Perl, I've also got nothing against it. Like everyone else, I'll joke occasionally about Perl (Perl: it's great because its got built-in obfuscation! Perl: it's the only language with the same information density as line noise!) but hey, if you guys find it floats your boats, more power to you.

What I'm confused about is the "good reasons" part. I don't _think_ I've ever written anything about perl that had any kind of reasoning in it. Cheap shots, like the above, yes. Reasoning, no. I'm just wondering what you're referring to.

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.
