Snippets Section and Code Catacombs deprecated for new posting

Lectori monastici cognoscentii will have noticed that the Snippets Section and Code Catacombs have been closed for posting. These sections are now archival only. All new posting of "substantial" code should be done in the Cool Uses For Perl section.

In this way, Snippets Section and Code Catacombs follow the old Craft section into crepuscular obsolescence. All three sections were "strange", implemented using peculiar data structures and code; CUFP is "normal", being implemented with the same structure and code as the other major sections (SOPW, Meds, PMD, etc.).

Like Craft, Snippets and Code will remain available for reading, browsing, and searching.

Note also that Snippets and Code are no longer listed in the Sections nodelet, but have been moved to the Leftovers nodelet, alongside the link to Craft. Also, the "nav menu" at the top of each PerlMonks page no longer contains links to these sections.

Between the mind which plans and the hands which build, there must be a mediator... and this mediator must be the heart.

It's going to be even more eerie in the catacombs now. Was the timing of this change chosen to co-incide with Halloween? :-) -- use JAPH; print JAPH::asString();	[reply]
