I like the "switch" idea quite a bit, myself. Here's something you might do right off the bat:
those lc "misc" calls are pointless (the string IS in lower case, that's the part you control). So, at the top,
something like
my $location = lc $query->param('place) or 'links'; # or a sensible default
Which converts the value you *can't* control to lowercase
. One nice thing about the "switch" idea is that you can
fall through to a default if the value of the parameter isn't valid.
Philosophy can be made out of anything. Or less -- Jerry A. Fodor

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).
