So when is Off Topic really On Topic...?

Always a tough question as you know. Probably ends up being a subjective call every time, as long as Perl is the 'strange attractor' in the thread.

Your GUI tut is terrific, and I'd vote for its appearance in Tutorials with links to it.

For new readers I was going to list a couple of quick links to other discussions about OT definitions and just tried a quick Super Search for " OT " (note the quoted spaces), but the spaces were stripped so no results were returned for the now 2 char search string.

Through other machinations I found:

Off Topic section

Comments about other posts Re: I'm sorry, but while I sympathize with your issue, it is off-topic in a PERL LANGUAGE forum on the net.

Chatterbox OT-ness Interesting use of the chatterbox...

There must be many more that I missed.

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.
