And to think I decided not to try to write a Perl book a couple of years ago because I was scared the code wouldn't be good enough. :)
On the OT of martial arts. I was a guest student at a Goju school, my background is mostly Taekwondo. One of the senior students, who I outranked slightly, chatted me up, commenting how he found Taekwondo practitioners were the easiest to beat at tournaments. I said something like, "Oh. I see," and never said anything else about it to anyone. A couple days later the head instructor calls me into his office and says, "I heard you had a little trouble with ______. I completely apologize and it's been taken care of."
There are good schools in all arts and they invariably have that kind of instructor; one who knows everything that's going on and won't tolerate disrespectful BS. You should go back if you can find a school like that.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
