FYI

I know from my experiences as a newbie here that it takes a while to understand the going ons of PM ... and I am still learning. I got -- for my first post, learned my lesson and moved on.

I commend footpad for the post. It is tough being a newbie sometimes, especially when other people forget that they were not born experts. footpad was not demeaning, he provided help and guidence to a newbie that is obviously experiencing some problems getting off on the right foot. That is the exact attitude that will keep PM a friendly and helpful place for people to come and learn Perl ... which should be our main goal for being here.

I just wanted to express why I ++ Footpad... I felt that he acted profesionaly and humanely ... and I highly value both of those qualities.
