On a legally helpful (rather than technically helpful) note:

In the US, you automatically have an explicit, exclusive copyright on any written work as soon as you pen it. Your Perl code is protected under the same laws which protect poets and novelists. As such, it should only be neccessary to make sure that your "pal" is very aware of this (i.e. "Hey, pal, before I mail this to you, please reply indicating that you are fully aware that this code is protected under US Copyright and I in no way grant you any rights to use, reprint, reproduce or make publicly availible this written work. Thanks, mom loves you, AM")

Of course in this case you'll still run the risk of him or her being inspired by your work (the risk all authors run everytime they publish), but you do have quit a bit of legal recourse in the case that your code is plagarized wholesale.

(Yeah, I know this isn't very helpful, but I think it's neat that code is considered written speech and so falls under the same legal jurisdiction. Another way in which Perl is poetry.)

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.
