Actually, that's pretty much what I'm proposing. But an additional issue with the Code Catacombs is that the docs (for those of you have been around awhile, and might not have noticed) tell us that the CC are being (informally) phased out with the invention of code tags. If the CC are to be where we do this (and I have no problem with that) I'd like to see the Perlmonks docs changed to reflect this, and they be given greater profile. I'd like to see the CC become the official place for this activity and I'd like to see this sort of behavior encouraged. That last part is what I think is most important.
Cheers,
Erik

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).
