What's the best way to save these articles that would make them easy to post in chronological order?
IMO, there are a few main options.
- You can store them in an RDBMS, with a date field.
- You could also keep a directory structure that reflects the dates (articles/2001/12/11.1.html, 11.2.html, etc - or whatever best suits you).
- You could even keep a header in each article, in a predetermined format, that contains the date.
- An XML DTD could be drawn up to contain the information for each article (including specifically the date).
These are just a few examples of ways to handle it... all of which are very well suited to be done in Perl. =)

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).
