Working on some legacy (Perl) code from way back. It goes like this: "code, sub a, code, sub b, code, ...". WTF were this guys thinking?

    years ago I met a guy that coded just like that. most impressive thing is that if you now ask him where such and such problem was he'd tell you: yeah, check file a.c, in function atox where it says z = xpto;

    @cpinto: the problem arises when you can no longer get a hold of the guy. Inthis case I don't even know who did it...

    @rcarmo: LOL! Let him come on-line and he'll answer that himself, I reckon. ;-)

    @rcarmo: actually I didn't mate, I'm positive it wasn't him, I'm just curious to see how he's going to abuse you for suggesting it.
