The Art of Computer Programming, especially volume 2. I didn't realize how many difficult computational issues had already been analyzed and understood in depth.

Unix Haters, which makes me realize: There is always another edge case I've missed; and People will use my software in ways I didn't anticipate or intend, but I want it to behave well if possible.

Unix Power Tools, which informed me on the origins of Perl, and what kind of tools are already available on the underlying OS (or might be missing, depending on the flavor, whims of sysadmins, or non-Unix systems).

Calvin and Hobbes: Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons: Who said snowmen have just one head, or any, or match any particular description? When I get stuck on a problem, it helps to pick up something that makes me think outside the box. We're always making assumptions, and we don't always examine the assumptions, but sometimes blindly follow along. Try to color outside the lines sometimes, sorta like "fishnet" as a color.

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.
