Actualy, one of the first "I love perl" moments, for me came when I was moving programs between an SGI and a SunOs machine, back in the time when Perl was at version 4.19 and dinosaurs roamed the earth.

For some reason, the user shell on the SunOS (not in general, just on that particular machine) was mandated to be tcsh, and on the SGI it was bash. Or maybe it was the other way around.

Either way, porting shell scripts was a pain, porting C programs was a pain, but Perl scripts simply copied over. Nifty...

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.
