> Also, for a moment i thought "wouldn't it be nice if pm could remind you to put codes tags on your stuff when it detects you posted perl code".

actually, I was thinking of mentioning this too.

In the end you only need a heuristic to recognize perl-code (easy) or data (consecutive short lines), this heuristic can be trained with the 100_000 older posts with code tags.

It's possible to run Perl::Tidy in server mode, i.e. without start-up overhead its pretty fast.

It's also possible to add an extra display-format where the reader decides between raw and formatted code.

But that's all fantasy, there are only two gods left who keep this running.

Pmdevs were bugging them already for years to patch a serious JS backdoor in the markup format.

But that's all fantasy, there are only two gods left who keep this running. Can i help out in any way, shape or form? `perl -e 'use Crypt::Digest::SHA256 qw[sha256_hex]; print substr(sha256_hex("the Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything"), 6, 2), "\n";'`	[reply] [d/l]

Thank you for offering. I have added you to the pmdev group. First thing to do is go add the PmDev Nodelet. I will be your mentor. /msg me for further info.	[reply]

Well, this is a monastery, so praying is standard procedure anyway. Ok, true, most of my prayers start like "Oh Lord, please let there be a working backup..." `perl -e 'use Crypt::Digest::SHA256 qw[sha256_hex]; print substr(sha256_hex("the Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything"), 6, 2), "\n";'`	[reply] [d/l]
