Re^4: Shut down the Snippets Section

Code is a poor CPAN.

If it was meant as CPAN, then it would've been a poor CPAN. It's hardly meant as that, but as a collection of working examples, scripts, utilities, proof of concepts, how-to's, recipes, implementation of design patterns, workarounds, macros, joke programs, and whatever else you don't go to CPAN to look for. RFC's can go to meditations.

Also, there are many levels of Perl programmers, and at the early-to-mid levels, reading code is a great way of learning. CPAN is meant for a sort of "black box" usage, not for displaying code examples that should be abused and edited.

CPAN isn't a blackbox. That's where I go to learn stuff. But, either way. Code is fine to keep.
