It would help if you used the proper case - internet URLs are case
sensitive.

Well, I have always had issues with some of the proverbial "netiquette"
concepts that appear out of the ether ad infinitum. At the same time
I'll be the first to admit ignorance and am receptive to education on
the rationale behind some of the edicts. I would hope that there is some
mirroring rationale for these as in the social world, even though
idiosyncratic and esoteric.

Well, I was adding a significantly new perspective to the question,
person who may have bypassed it previously may have an input based on
the new realization.
Is there a cuttoff period for this, is it arbitrarily set? Ex: If I have
a question that could be linked to a previous post made in 1995, am I
bound to post under that 11 yr old thread. And I do have posts made in 1995.
Do you recall, 'gopher' and 'veronica' etc?

ONE! Sounds like a 'religious' mantra, I did not use all perl groups. I
choose those that appeared applicable and would have attracted responses
from persons with likely know how.
And from the "multitude" of responses received I have not been very
successful either. You were the only one responding so far after many days.
For a chronological recall:
[i] First I thought this was an isolated script problem
[ii] Then it seemed to be Perl system problem
[iii]Now it seems that there may even be an O/S connection or twist to
the problem. Can I post to free BSD lists also? or should I restrict
myself to a single perl list

I hope the reasons cited above are actual reasons first and then valid
reasons too
I addressed the set followups issue earlier
Is there a "netiquette newsgroup or list" somewhere?
> Please don't post to comp.lang.perl: it doesn't exist.
Odd, it still comes in on my ISP Newsfeed, with several thousands
messages, the last excluding mine => 6/21/06 9:31 AM

Thanks
PS: Can I Post to freeBSD in light of current realization, can I do a
cross posting or can I create a new thread?

Subject: Question on printerhandling
Message-Id: <449e7f7a$0$19256$e4fe514c@dreader16.news.xs4all.nl>
Hi,
In a dBase program someone used "eject" to eject the sheet from the
printer and position the printer on top of the next sheet. Looking
through CPAN, I found no such command or description. Is there any (did
I miss it?) or is there some workaround possible?
Thanks,
Huub

it is sth. like 'formfeed':
...
print PRINTER "\f";
...
If PRINTER is a handle to your printing device

That's the key to understanding the behavior.

This doesn't help when I'm using some meta characters in my search
strings. I need something that only does it to the variables.

It was a hint that does help if you add some imagination. Following it
up by reading about \Q in "perldoc perlre" would also be useful.
