This change allows monkchat.pl to use the appropriate URL for links like
[/index.pl?node_id=43546|chipmunk]. (Inspired by epoptai. ;)
Replace the definition of the perlmonks URLs with these lines:
# URL to use for links into perlmonks & cpan
my($perlmonksURL_base) = 'http://www.perlmonks.org/';
my($perlmonksURL_node) = 'http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node=';
my($perlmonksURL_id) = 'http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=';
my($perlmonksURL_cpan) = 'http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=module&qu
+ery=';
And update the code for the launchBrowser sub with these lines:
printMessage("\n*Launching browser for node $node...");
if ($node =~ s/^id:\/\///) { $url = $perlmonksURL_id . $nod
+e; }
elsif ($node =~ s/^node_id=//) { $url = $perlmonksURL_id . $nod
+e; }
elsif ($node =~ s/^cpan:\/\///) { $url = $perlmonksURL_cpan . $nod
+e; }
elsif ($node =~ /^http:/) { $url = $node;
+ }
elsif ($node =~ s/^\/+//) { $url = $perlmonksURL_base . $nod
+e; }
else { $url = $perlmonksURL_node . $nod
+e; }
