You certainly have made your point, unfortunatly I think I may not have...

I was thinking about specific challenges .. puzzles if you will. Set over specific periods by experienced monks to stimulate discussion and ideas.

The nodes you have linked to are all great (I read them all) but do not if I read them correctly fulfill the role I was proposing. A challenge is often picked up in the form of a JAPH or some other programming gem, what I was suggesting was a way to pull these challenges together and make them more acessable by novices like me.

• 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.
