Good for you. You can't really find many people as resourceful as you prove yourself to be. I'm awfully glad that you used the Perl documentation. I'm even more happy about how you searched for it and combined your results. That way you learn something while helping another learn.

You know, you don't always have to answer Perl questions. When I first got here all I did was post in Meditations and Perlmonks Discussion. I got pretty involoved this way and looked over the questions to solve any problems I might have. This is much more efficient then creating a new node.

So overall, it seems as if you are in a good start here. You have definitely gotten the respect from me as well as other monks. Keep up the good work. :-)

• 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.
