Hm, this has been covered in the FAQ.. but I don't believe people (often new people..) understand how important it is to show relevant code!

One can't hope to help someone, if we can't see what you're doing. Describing the problem is important as well! Don't get me wrong - that's needed. But, code often times will show us exactly what's going on... plus, we can test it on our own systems.

So remember, if you have a question - PLEASE.. post the code! :)

Just a friendly reminder...

• 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.
