monkdiscuss jdporter <p> <abbr title="alert readers of the monastery">Lectori monastici cognoscentii</abbr> will have noticed that the [Snippets Section] and [Code Catacombs] have been closed for posting. These sections are now archival only. All new posting of "substantial" code should be done in the [Cool Uses For Perl] section. </p><p> In this way, [Snippets Section] and [Code Catacombs] follow the old [Craft] section into crepuscular obsolescence. All three sections were "strange", implemented using peculiar data structures and code; [Cool Uses For Perl|CUFP] is "normal", being implemented with the same structure and code as the other major sections ([SOPW], [Meditations|Meds], [PMD], etc.). </p><p> Like [Craft], [Snippets Section|Snippets] and [Code Catacombs|Code] will remain available for reading, browsing, and [Super Search|searching]. </p><p> Note also that [Snippets Section|Snippets] and [Code Catacombs|Code] are no longer listed in the <b>Sections</b> nodelet, but have been moved to the <b>Leftovers</b> nodelet, alongside the link to [Craft]. Also, the "nav menu" at the top of each PerlMonks page no longer contains links to these sections. </p> <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-170442"> Between the <b>mind</b> which plans and the <b>hands</b> which build, there must be a mediator... and this mediator must be the <b>heart</b>. </div></div>
