If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There’s no use being a damn fool about it.

Consider that the failure is likely someone else's fault, possibly LanX :P

I just blame god. (In the final analysis, that's where the buck stops.)

What makes you think that I am consistent? I have used nearly all of these responses at some time.

I always succeed. Like Chuck.
Update: Chuck doesn’t use bless because he is blessed.

Plan A: Leave it for a while and come back later for another bash or two.
Plan B: Sleep on it.
Plan C: Explain it to someone else. These days, since I'm working from home (as many of us are), that someone is my step-son. And that approach does sometimes work.

I reread the manual for any parts I didn't write, try again, wash, rinse, repeat a couple of times, then go to IRC or some other help system.
My OS is Debian 10 (Buster); my perl versions are 5.28.1 local and 5.16.3 or 5.30.0 on web host depending on the shebang.
No matter how hysterical I get, my problems are not time sensitive. So, relax, have a cookie, and a very nice day!

Go to sleep and tackle it again when my mind is fresh. If I'm lucky, I'll have dreamt the solution.
