Oh my. Aren't we the smart one? Could you provide one of the "make-pretend
conversations" and maybe an example of a "stunted vocabulary"? Or do you just
like to throw out words and hope they mean something?

Ah! Then I am truly sorry. It was all under the heading of "Mark Manning
<markem@airmail.net> trolled:" and thus took it as a response to myself. I am
duly chastised.
I have a question for you. Someone else has mentioned that I am "top-posting".
All I am doing is using the reply button and everything is showing up like this:
A
+-->B
+--->C
and so on. Are you saying it is coming out as
A
B
C
???? So instead of indenting properly it is starting a new thread each time?

Although you might not get exactly what you want, Mark Jason's
Higher Order Perl will get you most of the way there.

See his chapter on iterators.

Subject: Force numeric variable !
Message-Id: <dukim3$n1u$1@oheron.kent.ac.uk>
Hello,
I want to compare 2 hexadecinal numbers.
Consider this example:
my $var1 = "0x00d9";
my $var2 = 0x00d9;
if ($var1 != $var2){
print "Yep, you get the point... it's not equal, which is my problem!!\n";
}
The perl runtime complains about this comparison.
How can I force perl to compare?
I tried things like int($var) or $var += 0 but with no luck.
Cheers,
Sebastien

Go ahead. Show them where I have "forged" a valid email address.
Go for it. Or do you just have to add your two cents to show others
that you to wish to be recognized as part of the small, anal,
clique?
You seek approval, dontcha?

You don't have a very good understanding of what constitutes abuse, do you?
You are using their servers to fake other people's names and pretend you're
posting as them. Whether you put the other person's email in the return or
not is not going to save you.

Already did, friend. Now how about you pull out a thesaurus and find a few
new words. You give a newfie a keyboard...

No, I am not. If my intention was to forge someone else's identity
I would forge their email addresses. And this is the only forgery
that ISP's take seriously. You have no more right to the _handle_
"Matt Garrish" than I do.

A newfie joke, now? Is that where you came from, when you moved to
Toronto? Ashamed of your roots, eh? Of course, it would be easy
enough to figure out if you're a newfie. There are only about 6
surnames in the entire province... I wonder if Garrish is one of
them?

Okay, let's walk through the subscriber agreement:
- Transmitting unsolicited messages which, in the sole judgement of Your
Service Provider, cause significant disruption or elicit complaints from
other Internet users.
You've got that one against you.
- Harassing users or groups in any way including but not limited to
defaming, abusing, stalking, threatening or otherwise violating the legal
rights of others.
That makes two.
- Impersonating other Sympatico subscribers or other Internet service
providers' subscribers in any way.
This is the one you have trouble with. Try and comprehend the "in any way"
part before you claim what you do and do not have a right to do on Bell's
servers.
- Create a false identity for the purpose of misleading others or forge the
headers of your email messages in any way.
You might consider reading the rest before running your mouth off:
http://service.sympatico.ca/index.cfm?method=content.view&content_id=923&category_id=257
But it's not me who will disconnect your service, so save your explanations
for Bell.

Subject: Regex: Backreferences do not work inside quantifiers?
Message-Id: <dukl07$lhr$01$1@news.t-online.com>
I have a line of the following format:
string length followed by colon followed by the actual
string.
To extract the string with the correct length I use the
following regular expression:
my $s = "3:abcd";
$s =~ /([\d]+):(.{\1})/;
print "$1\n";
print "$2\n";
However this does not match. Neither $1 nor $2 become
defined. If I replace \1 with 3 it works as expected,
I get 3 in $1 and "abc" in $2.
I have studied the "Perl Programming" book and
the active perl regex documentation, but could not
find a restriction that backreferences must not be
used inside quantifiers.
What am I doing wrong?
