( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I have no experience in this matter so mine is an idea more than a suggestion. Hope it's appreciated and gives maybe reason to meditate or find a better solution.

Can you maybe develop what you need in a module, separated from the original code? It would give you the basis to "don't fix if it is not broken" and would allow you to do "occasional changes" to the original code, "to fit your necessities for the new functionalities".
I believe this could be some kind of workaround to facing your boss directly on how he coded and how the code makes your life difficult, but if you proceed wisely, you could just obtain what you expect, I suppose.
Hope it helps :)

update: extremely important
Backup. Backup everything before typing a single character.
Don't even think about modifying something you have not backed-up! If something goes wrong, be personally assured that a quick replace can bring everything in working order!

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.
