<nod> I wasn't asserting that you were wrong, only that the user to whom I replied that implied the author of the article used it incorrectly was wrong in his assertion.

With that sentence construction, you could be a lawyer :)

Thanks... I think? I'm a programmer by trade, and perl is but one of many languages I use with regular frequency.

In the US, we consider that poor grammar, as in: "I done did kilt three of 'em skeeters on me yesterday."

OK, maybe yours is a noun, but still!
