No he's not. And this was all my mistake, as was the bug. 1. This is being crossposted. Przemyslaw is from alt.ascii-art. 2. He was referring to a JAPH I'd posted. 3. The subject of this thread came from someone else entirely. Okay, so he should've quoted my post. Okay, so Helgi should've checked the newsgroups list and the beginning of the thread. And I should've been more careful in testing my code before posting it. In the end, this whole subthread is the result of a series of unfortunate mistakes. I'd successful crossposted between alt.ascii-art and comp.lang.perl.misc before, so I didn't see any risk in that. But I should've realized that the cultures are different enough that there might be misunderstandings. (Note for a.a-a readers: comp.lang.perl.misc is a high-volume group. And yes, we do get people actually asking about bugs in code they're not willing to show, with totally misleading subject lines. Some people get pretty annoyed with it after a while. Abestos underwear recommended.) [Followups set to comp.lang.perl.misc ONLY. Keep this out of a.a-a.] -- Ilmari Karonen -- http://www.sci.fi/~iltzu/ "Get real!
