Perhaps I am misunderstanding you, but that sounds
to me like you would rather get us to do your work for
free instead of you acquiring the mental tools to do it
yourself. In the long run, that doesn't really help you,
does it?
Many of us are here to *help* you get past the
problems you are having with your code. We are not here
as a code writing resource. Again, perhaps I am
misreading your message. If so, my apologies.
If not, try to find answers on your own first.
Look at the documentation that comes with perl. Search
the internet with Google. We help a lot of folks here,
but we assume you have at least tried to solve things
yourself.
Take a look at the archives. Many of us that help
very rarely ask questions here. I, for one, have
learned how to answer most of my questions through
research and by "wasting my time" and *not* asking here
first. I'll bet a lot of programmers more experienced
then me do the same.
: PS: I see this term 'foo' 'bar' in many programming
: books, what is the etymology of this?
RFC 3092 - Etymology of "Foo":
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3092.html
BTW, this was the first link returned by Google.
You could have at least tried to find it on your own.
