More re PM Bug? ... because I can't reply to that thread... and after preview and create, I get what I've written and posted labeled as written by another monk (and same ID as the other monk's prior reply) -- but then that content never shows in the thread. Seems to have jetted off somewhere (but not the bit bucket?).

Actually, same problem for me started with an attempt to reply to New site for perl... and I may have besmirched GrandFather's good reputation if my post ever actually shows up, since the rendered content after preview and create attributed comment to him:

Thread: begins at New site for perl

GrandFather's: Re: New site for perl
(His actual post: questions failure to mention PM as a resource)
Mine, when created after preview: same id, with this content:

Tips'n Tricks->one liner: unix quoting with no qualifiers to stmnt that "This will print Hello oneliner in command line."
Nope; it will print the Hello oneliner on the command line ONLY so long as the CLI is nix-=ish.

Tutorial: "Introduction
PERL - Practical Extraction and Reporting Language
You do know that's a backronym, right?

Tutorial (again): "File Handling" ...
No example of 3 arg open?

News: First item is announcement of the site by an individual wasting huge amounts of resources here?

Update: Thanks to tye for the fix; 2nd blockquoted content above posted as intended now.</update>

OTOH, you've done some neat stuff to render additional detail about examples, just for instance... So work on the content.

Also noticed that BrowserUK has posted a node sometime today (lost its id; sorry) saying, loosely paraphrased, Ignore this; PM is all screwed up....

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.
