( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I use my perlmonks.org account to link offsite code, but only to enhance a post, not to act as a substitute for the post.

I think you are taking merlyn's reply a bit out of context (and please forgive me if i do the same to you or him). I don't believe he downvoted _JUST_ because the entire code is linked offsite, but ALSO because the code in question is more than likely a reinvention of a wheel that already exists on CPAN. (*cough* POE)

I braved the download (i really hate .zip files - i'm a tar ball kinda guy) and there are 16 different versions of the code. The final version is indeed long (21Kbtyes and 553 lines), but that is not too much for this site to handle ( HTML::Template Tutorial is currently 19KBytes and 525 lines long).

Now, if Veachian64 had turned this into a web site that acted as a tutorial for IRC programming (like Ovid did with his online CGI course), then that would be another story (hint hint).

Use offsite linking to enhance your content - not to replace it.

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.
