( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I'm begining to think that for us Perl is actually more writeable/readable than XML,YAML,JSON,etc.

Agreed. Perl is the default choice. Although I find JSON (and to a lesser degree YAML) fairly easy to read, it's also easy to break when writing, and none of the parsers I tried gave feedback as useful as Perl's. My rule of thumb is that you should try to never use any tool that doesn't tell you which line number the problem is on.

However, I don't have the XML-phobia some people seem to have. It seems fine to me for config data. Verbose, but not that hard to deal with.

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.
