I'll cast my vote in favor of your suggestion for the interim posting of Golf and benchmark challenges to snippets.

I certainly think Perl Golf and little efficiency challenges can be both educational and recreational and deserving of their own little showcase. However, regarding your suggestion of two new sections devoted to Golf and benchmarking, perhaps all we require is just one general new section ('games' or 'challenges' or something) that could serve as an umbrella recreational category over not only golf and benchmark arenas but any other little challenges that one may come up with (logic puzzles, maze solving, or even gaming challenges such as the 'stones' contest from TPJ, etc). Perhaps this one section could end up sub-categorized much like the catacombs.

Oh, and a big ++ to arhuman for rooting out a few more nodes to squander my time on :-) ... the ultimate one at the bottom of his list is marvelous!

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.
