I don't know why this is getting downvotes, for some problems this is certainly true.

At a guess, probably because of the condescending one-true-way attitude and the fact that he didn't address the OP's actual question.

I chuckled when I found it was sitting at -7. I figured it would take a hit or two but I didn't realize the number of people who would even bother to vote on it would actually outnumber the number of people who agreed with the technical merits of the post.

I am not disappointed, mind you. Just surprised. Apparently, people on Perlmonks want this to be a place for friendly and useful dialog.

Go figure.

I like perl, I know it well, and I like to solve problems with it. However, that doesn't mean it's the optimal tool for every job.

Have a great evening!

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.
