Ok topic 2. As a competition enthusiast, I think it would be much appreciated to post competition like questions into its own section on PM. It can allow us to see how different people would tackle a situation and challange programers who are sitting around bored (on a teacher strike) looking for something to do

Have you seen Seekers of Perl Wisdom? People post a variety of questions, some easy, some hard, some real-world, some conceptual, some closely related to Perl, some only loosely. Then hundreds of people around the world post solutions (or critiques to other people's solutions) in a competition for "XP" -- a form of peer acclaim.

It's a great challenge for programmers who are sitting around bored looking for something to do.

(grin)

On a serious note, if you do organize something in the real world and want swag, I'd suggest approaching TPF or else working through a nearby Perl Mongers group that might have people with connections who can help.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
