I asked a "transportable" question for the first time of my entire life of coding which involves several years. You speak like I always ask questions like this. Of course it is not applicable always but I thought it is applicable in this particular situation and it appears to be applicable from the answer of Jenda because I already ported it to my PHP solution. > I am glad that you have an answer, but so that I can understand what posts > like > yours expect in the future please let us know what that answer is?

And from the definitions you people make, I can assure you that you wouldn't be a great teacher, at least for introductory classes. I can imagine how you come to a "Programming 101" class and start with "loosely typed variables" hahah. I want to make something clear, when using mailing lists my replies arrive approximately 1 day after I post. Also I get mails a few hours later you post. I said that I won't answer any more mails in this topic but after reading some gentle and helpful mails it would be rude not to answer. But again argumentative replies kept coming after my thanks mail. So, I wrote this mail. It is a little annoying not to be able to answer immediately or after answering to get other messages which are written before your answer. So most probably this will be the last message from me for this topic. > Please help us to help you, and others like you. Basically, I saw my mistake of not being clear and apologies for it. But I still think all my accuses of being rude (I didn't make this up, I read it a few times in other communities than Perl, blog posts and witnessed on Perl irc channel), making simple things complicated etc. is true and if you don't want to see it, it is your problem, I don't mind. -- Canol Gökel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
