DO you trust yourself?

Again, mostly. If I didn't, I couldn't be doing my job. Come on, if I don't trust myself, whome else could I trust?

I do not trust myself to always get things right

That's why I wrote Except if there is, of course.

But that's not the point of my previous posting. It is not only user input, but unlaundered data from any source which cannot be trusted.

perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'

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.
