In Italy the feminine name is Michela and the masculine one is
Michele. Maybe you're confusing with french Michelle.

Nope, Michele is a girl's name. Examples include Michele Laurita,
Michele Tafoya, Michele Balan, and many more.

s/her/him/; # please!

Assuming $_ contains "Anyone with an ounce of courtesy would have used
a real email address, so those of us that want to ask further questions
in email could actually reach her.", your substitution will result in:

Anyone with an ounce of courtesy would have used a real email address,
so those of us that want to ask furthim questions in email could
actually reach him.

You should have used s/\bher\b/him/g;

More examples: Stacy Keach, Carrol O'Connor, Marion Morrison (aka John Wayne),
this group's own Abigail - all men.

Michele is *not* traditionally a "girl's name" in Italy

Like you've even been to Italy, hillbilly.

Michele is *not* traditionally a "girl's name" in Italy,

You mean the baritone in "Il Tabarro" is a /woman/? Well, judging from
the action of the opera, she's still pretty butch.

To whom it may concern,

Some people seem to forget the perl motto, "There is more than one way to do
it."

Rather than simply posting a solution and explaining the method as a reply
to zim, who asked the question, Dondi chose to improve my method. I replied
and said Dondi was right. I wonder what part of "you're right" Dondi does
not understand? That's is a rhetorical question; no reply is necessary.

Dondi persists in wasting his time and mine revising a method again and
again. Dondi has never posted a direct reply to zim explaining a method.
That, after all, is the purpose of the thread... to answer zim's question.

I answered zim's question. I offered a method that works; I included an
explanation that is consistent with *my* solution. I assume zim found an
answer and has left; maybe zim will ask a question if more information is
needed.

As to Dondi's optimal improvements, I offer this section of the perl
documentation from perldoc perlstyle.

o Think about reusability. Why waste brainpower on a one-shot when
you might want to do something like it again? Consider
generalizing your code. Consider writing a module or object class.
Consider making your code run cleanly with "use strict" and "use
warnings" (or -w) in effect. Consider giving away your code.
Consider changing your whole world view. Consider... oh, never
mind.

o Be consistent.

o Be nice.

There are no relevant technical issues to this newsgroup that remain to be
discussed. I have offered to discuss anything further by e-mail.
"Consider... oh, never mind. Be consistent. Be nice."
