Ok folks, this thread is now closed. There will be no more posts on this thread to this list. Not only is it heated, but it is off topic. People must realize a few things. First, sometimes people post OT posts to lists. Why? I'm not always sure. However, the beginners list is "chartered", if you will, to be a place of tolerance and friendliness. So, when these posts come by, and they will, be nice. Think before you respond, and certainly think twice before responding to the whole list. Remember, there are a few thousand folks reading this, as well as this being archived, so everyone sees what you write. Secondly, this list is not a place for flaming others. One person does, then suddenly everyone has to give their $.02 in. Next thing you know is this list loses its value because it becomes Yet Another volitile community. If you feel you absolutely *must* give your $.02 to someone, do it in private. Thirdly, please try to use other resources to answer your questions before posting a question to the list. This is in the FAQ, everyone should read it (at least once) before posting. This list is not a search engine, homework answer desk, or somewhere to get people to read the abundant documentation for you. Resources to look at are also pointed to in the FAQ, and the Perl docs should be installed on your machine. Many times it is more fruitful to search for an answer, rather than have it given to you. You may learn many things in the process. Fourth, if you are still reading this, thanks :) Just be nice to eachother. Gentle guidance goes much further than hostility. Thanks for your cooperation.
