Thanks for your very good advices, you are really very kind with me.

Nope, I'm "one of the rudest Italians ever", didn't I tell you? :-)

Could it be that our common language italiano is somehow allready influencing your way of thinking...

Nope, I strongly doubt (the link may be of some interest) that. In fact I notice that I disagree with people speaking the same mothertongue as mine many many times on many many different matters. I think that Perl is much more likely to already be influencing the way we think, about programming that is.

As soon as I become novice (and you can help me here..) I promise you to re-evaluate your golden piece of code...

No, no promises of this kind, please! Remember that XP is nothing but a game and you will be not only novice again, but far above that level in just a few days. I, for one, downvoted some of your posts in this thread, supposedly for the same reasons as others did, and upvoted other ones, according to conscience. Feel free to upvote or downvote any node of mine also according to conscience. I won't take any offense in the second case, but then I will never know, anyway...
