comment on

Others have commented at great length on the shortcomings of your program, so 'm not going to add to that.

I'm interested in knowing how you picked up so many bad habits. How did you learn Perl? Did you teach yourself from reading a book? Or did you find a tutorial on the web? Or were you taught by someone who claimed to know Perl, but obviously doesn't?

I'm very interested in finding out how people learn bad Perl so that we can work on replacing the resources that they use with better ones, so any information that you can give me would be great.

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.


Problems? Is your data what you think it is?
