I don't have much to add to the previous replies, except that I must say that anyone that downvotes a post because it's 'not written in proper English' in my opinion should be booted from perlmonks for of unholy behaviour...

If a foreign person decides to post, and tries his best English, always remember that his English is probably better than your mastery of the poster's native language...

I'm Dutch myself, and the Dutch usually have a pretty decent control of english (or languages in general even) but that is mainly because our culture doesn't shield us from the English language by dubbing every single tv programme, which does happen in almost every other (non english-speaking) country...

I'd like to see one of you yanks try a post in Dutch! :)

• 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.
