with code...
my view is write however you like provided it doesn't affect someone else ->
meaning cgi apps should use strict, taint, etc // code which will be maintained by others,
should be written clearly // all effort must be taken to eliminate bugs posted in code,
which will be distributed (like on CPAN), etc.
with trolls...
XP, trolls, etc - seem to be a recurrent debate lately. It's hard to decipher, if
someone is just being curt or actually being malicious. And i know, it must be hard for
programmers to continually repeat themselves to newbies or have their proven advice go
unheeded, but i do suggest, that people double-think how they state something, before
they do. (I'm sure, most of us are guilty of the occasional, unwarrented tongue-lashing
upon someone.)
however with those, who are simply and purposely detracting from this site...
well, i agree banning is useless, but if someone is on a quest for lowest reputation, one
can always deny them what they want. Upvote them occasionally - until they're about a
measely negative 5 points. Enough to show you disapprove, but not enough to 'reward' them.

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).
