But the \t is nevertheless stringified into a TAB character. I doubt that's
what the OP wanted.
Using forward slashes does save a lot of hassle.

My newsreader inserts the ">" and attribution for me automatically when
I reply. It also displays the ">" as coloured bars in the margins. It
has a "rewrap" feature that processes the multilevel ">" markers
correctly and ensures that quoted lines don't get longer and longer.
In short: newsreaders know about ">". They don't know about the "unique
identifiers" you just invented.
I don't have any real objection to your "unique identifiers" (though I
regard them as clutter). However if everyone who starts using newsgroups
independantly invents their own conventions I suspect the result will be
very messy and might reduce the usability of this forum.
ISTR Abigail often uses an idiosyncratic method of quoting, I suspect
this is tolerated because Abigail has a long track-record of concise,
accurate and positive contributions and is therefore highly valued as a
contributor. You don't have a track record here.
I've seen it said recently, in the news.admin groups, that one of the
reasons why web-based fora are popular, is the absence of the
nit-picking over netiquette often seen in newsgroups. This may be true,
but I prefer newsgroups anyway (just my GBP 0.02 worth).

I like the Swedish example even better: Höra and hora.
The one means "to hear", the other "whore".
Now imagine you rename Mrs. Höra to Mrs. Hora.

With that argument you'd also have to argue that m//i is useless. After
all "Tad" and "tad" aren't the same either. In the right context it may
make perfect sense to have /München/ match "Munchen".
I know of no feature that would automatically map an accented character
to its un-accented version. You'll have to come up with your own
equivalence tables, probably in form of tr/// statements.

In case you fall under a bus and are not available for resolving such
issues at some point in the future, could you tell us where you looked?
I've used Google to search for relevant stuff but come up blank apart
from some seemingly unrelated discussion of the marking of certain
groups as binary. AFAIK Base64 encoded content wouldn't be considered
binary.
I've skimmed the relevant RFCs and didn't notice anything that would
preclude MIME.
RFC 977 says "the article should be presented in the format specified by
RFC850" and "No attempt shall be made by the server to filter
characters, fold or limit lines, or otherwise process incoming text."
Which suggests that the message content can be in any format so long as
it meets the rule for message termination (LF . LF?).
RFC 850 says "all USENET news articles must be formatted as valid
ARPANET mail messages, according to the ARPANET standard RFC 822."
Which suggests to me that the intent was that rules for NNTP message
content should follow the rules for SMTP message content. Current SMTP
standards for content (such as MIME) ought to be equally acceptable, in
principle, in NNTP.
Wikipedia says "With the header extensions and the Base64 and
Quoted-Printable MIME encodings, there was a new generation of binary
transport. In practice, MIME has seen increased adoption in text messages"
There is no mention of propogation problems with MIME text messages.
I can't find anything relevant in recent news.admin.{technical|misc} and
the only FAQ I can find relates to net.abuse (in which I didn't see any
mention of MIME).

It is quite elementary .. but you already knew that ;-)
use "\r" at the end of a print statement (assuming you're on unix):
print "Count: $_\r" for ( 0 .. 10000000 );

But prototypes are often misunderstood. And they're also frowned upon

There's no pirnt() built-in. This is a remark to the effect that it's
better to paste code than to retype it.

You can't, but you can pass references. You can make this automatic by
means of the \@ prototype. All in all I recommend you to read
perldoc perlsub
perldoc perlref
There's all that I've mentioned in passing here.

While you're there, point him to the very first step towards good
programming practices in terms of
use strict;
use warnings; # also read perldoc -f my

While you're there, check
perldoc perlsub
and discover why the &-form of sub call is obsolete now, and most
likely not to do what you probably expect it to.

1) *Please* do not top-post (see remark above);

...which wouldn't help at all, because "use" is a _compiler_
directive and an if condition would be executed only at
_run time_. That's why 'if.pm' was implemented...

habit. tradionally args to use are passed in qw even when there is only
one of them. since this was an expanded and conditional use i kept that
style to highlight the analogous parts of each version.

correct, since CGI::Carp does export its versions of carp and friends it
should be done in a begin block so those symbols are available to later
code.

I always place methods in qw, even if it's only one. Because it often
becomes more than one before the code is done (or when the code is
revised); this is especially true for me with CGI (and POSIX) modules.
It just makes things easier and more consistent (even if it imposes a
very, very tiny overhead).

It's listed in my perlmodlib, which I thought only listed the standard
modules, no? (v5.8.4 for solaris)
