Oh well. Although I think "Jdavis" was a little too harsh, I have to agree with him (although, not as adamantly). First off, I also admit I'm no Perl guru, but I'm learning. I think "Jdavis" was saying that _reasons_ why something is "broken" (or doesn't work, or is bad, or whatever), are helpful to beginners. In fact, I occasionally find myself frustrated with the brevity of many responses to people's questions. I think a lot of people are using this list to learn, not just to be told what to do. I'm not saying to write a novel out of each response, but a little detail can be nice. You have to remember, a lot of people who are learning Perl (and even many who are learning English) are using this list. > I dont think the parser is broken, I KNOW it is ;0).

I'm not saying you are incorrect, because frankly I don't know. Is it because he is using a scalar with the same name as the array he is assigning it to? Oh well, I don't even remember the rest of the code that was posted :) > I cant even use programs that use that parser on my RH > konquerer or Mozilla Why does it cause problems with Konquerer or Mozilla? I guess I've always been the type to question someone else's opinions. :) There is really no offense intended. I'm just hoping to keep people's minds open and ease tensions. Lets try to keep this list as helpful as possible. <stepping down from soapbox> Jared -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
