I hadn't heard of Selena Sol either, arturo. But I take the point to be that neither MSA nor SS provide enlightenment, and that both should be shunned by the faithful.

For what it's worth, I'm just plain lucky. Missed MSA and SS, finding the Monastery instead when I needed to learn more than rudimentery Perl for logfile processing. I have a *lot* to learn, thankfully not to un-learn.

If you really want to see Another Way Not To Do It, www.google.com is pretty effective. Ask tilly. {grin} (about Google, not about "how not to do it")

Update: "learned ybiC..."
Thanks for the compliment, jptxs. 8^) Wish I deserved it.

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.
