I missed that statement, and I hereby apologise for that, but there is
no need for you to resort to personal comments ("high horse", "get
over yourself"...).

I merely commented on posted code. If you don't want comments, don't
post code.

If code that is posted in a public forum such as this has problems, it
is good for those problems to be pointed out in the same public forum
so that people who don't know Perl so well can won't be mislead into
thinking it's perfectly acceptable code, and then go and use it
themselves.

I never claimed I or my code was perfect. In fact I'd love you (or
anyone else) to comment on my code and point out problems with it.
This is how the learning process works.

This is now way OT.
