Not comp.lang.perl, we're agree, but not comp.lang.perl.misc which, by
design, incorporates, implicitely, indirect questions, it's not so sure
;-)
However, thanks for your long and accurate reply, Peter.

doing it for file::slurp or even better, sort::maker. i am sure you

Nah, my guess is Uri had also been procrastinating right up to the tax
deadline, and, like me, was looking for amusement in-between filling in
forms. Lucky for us, you are here to provide that amusement.

Without your post, I would never have seen his code, so, thank you. On
the other hand, let's agree that once the toes join the count, we are in
fubar territory ; -)

A troll does things on purpose because he has a lot of fun when people,
especially those that should know better, bite.

r> I may look at that.
no, the challenge is to you to code review one of my cpan modules. you
are typical of trolls in that you are basically a bully and a
coward. classic cliche stereotype that is also too often true as in your
case. you prey upon newbies who don't know you and you antagonize the
regulars who haven't yet killfiled you. so in your own deluded world you
get little negative or realistic feedback because it is obvious that you
will never take it nor learn from it. so you lash out with curses and
other inferiority complex actions. and of course any complaints about
that roll off your back since you know you are correct and all those
others much be wrong. so the only way you can possibly work your way out
of your self-imposed hell is to actually listen to someone and prove
that you are not a coward. take one of my modules on cpan
http://search.cpan.org/~uri
and code review all or part of it here. point out code you don't like,
explain why you think it could be better, rewrite it better, whatever,
as long as it is constructive. no just cursing at me and my code with
nothing to back it up. this is a challenge any quality coder would have
no problem attempting. and to your surprise if you actually point out
something which could be better, i will patch it and release it. you
see, i am actually about the true quality of my work and not trying to
cut you down. your comments are rarely about the code and that is so
common with trolls.
r> I'm a homeless guy without a job. I have to pan for bucks to post
r> here...
i won't even consider any sympathy for that is most likely a lie or
worse a delusion. and even if it were true, that doesn't grant you
permission to troll here and act like you do. do you have sense of shame
at how you behave here? do you even have some respect for yourself
(unlike the disrespect you show others all the time)? do you care how
others perceive you or are you just trying to be as annoying as
possible? there are other very poor perl hacker wannabes out there and
you don't seen them acting out their angst here. did you ever think that
if you were more sociable and actually learned perl better and got along
with the perl community you could actually get a job and get off the
street? but that is moot as i don't care nor want to know your actual
situation. that point is just to show how self destructive you are. any
possiblity of someone in the perl community ever hiring you is now slim.
so do the challenge or you will be publically known as a typical perl
troll and chicken. i triple dog dare ya (that didn't work the last time
and i bet it won't this time. but i have to try!).

Take on long distance running. It may help you. It will also keep you away
from a computer keyboard long enough as to allow you to rethink your stuff
before mindlessly keying it into heaps of 1s and 0s.

Do you? I often wonder what's worse: a troll I can ignore, or some
regulars with plenty of time on their hands to start again another long
"discussion" with a troll.

Long distance running is not going to help with such things if the troll
is serious about it.
