The patch is below. I hope GMail.com preserve it enough after I
copy-and-pasted it from gvim.

I started to revamp the FAQ. My original intention was to add some
questions from http://perl.net.au/wiki/Freenode_Sharp_Perl_FAQ (Who's computer is this?) , and
other things the Freenode #perl people have encountered.

While looking for IDE, I discovered that:

1. Vim/gvim and TextMate were missing.

2. There were many URLs without an L<...>.

In any case, I also added this FAQ there:

http://perl.net.au/wiki/Freenode_Sharp_Perl_FAQ#How_can_I_match_anything-except-a-regex_inside_a_Perl_regular_expression.3F (Who's computer is this?)

Anyway comments are welcome, but I still plan to continue.

Regards,

Shlomi Fish

If you are using Windows, you can use any editor that lets you work
with plain text, such as NotePad or WordPad. Word processors, such as
Microsoft Word or WordPerfect, typically do not work since they insert
all sorts of behind-the-scenes information, although some allow you to
save files as "Text Only". You can also download text editors designed
specifically for programming, such as Textpad (
