Stack overflow

Totally this. StackOverflow is the place to go for answers to programming questions nowadays, even in Perl.

I'm courting the downvotes, but does it matter? Even as I reply to this I'm going through the cycles of remembering what a pain in the ass it is to post to PerlMonks. Preview, WTF?! Oh, FFS right... I have to use html paragraph marks here...

Who mourns the ongoing fall of Sourceforge, when there's GitHub, GitLab, and all the other superior options? Anyone still using PerlMonks all the time is enjoying nostalgia, suffering from inertia, or both.

So, I agree with BrowserUK's call to action to the extent that PerlMonks is past its prime. OTOH, I also agree with some of the other comments that it doesn't matter if you're getting what you want out of it. For getting stuff done, there's IRC, mailing lists/Google groups, GitHub, Metacpan, and StackOverflow.

Just my $0.02.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
