( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Hi vagabonding electron,

The syntax was not very verbose either on the second look :-)

This is of course just my personal opinion and not a good reason to not use the module, but its method naming just bugged me... when I'm writing Java I don't mind reallyLongMethodNamesThatDocumentEverythingTheMethodDoes (that's what autocomplete is for), but when writing Perl I prefer Perlish APIs. Some examples: the method "characters" could be named "text" (and accept multiple arguments), "startTag" could be named "start", or s/dataElement/tag/. It might seem minor but when I tried it out I just found myself typing "startTag" too often and my code actually got longer using this "helper" module. But anyways, that's just my two cents, if it works for you then don't let me stop you :-)

Regards,
-- Hauke D

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.
