Wouldn't it be better to not waste your time with this kind of response???

                    Perhaps I am misunderstanding you, but that sounds
                to me like you would rather get us to do your work for
                free instead of you acquiring the mental tools to do it
                yourself. In the long run, that doesn't really help you,
                does it?

                    Many of us are here to *help* you get past the
                problems you are having with your code. We are not here
                as a code writing resource. Again, perhaps I am
                misreading your message. If so, my apologies.

                    If not, try to find answers on your own first.
                Look at the documentation that comes with perl. Search
                the internet with Google. We help a lot of folks here,
                but we assume you have at least tried to solve things
                yourself.

                    Take a look at the archives. Many of us that help
                very rarely ask questions here. I, for one, have
                learned how to answer most of my questions through
                research and by "wasting my time" and *not* asking here
                first. I'll bet a lot of programmers more experienced
                then me do the same.



                : PS: I see this term 'foo' 'bar' in many programming
                : books, what is the etymology of this?

                RFC 3092 - Etymology of "Foo":

                 http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3092.html

                    BTW, this was the first link returned by Google.
                You could have at least tried to find it on your own.
