In my profile, I have listed the modules I've published. But one has LTR characters in it.

I've tried typing the characters and copying them from a working URL but it seems the Monastery has a glitch!!!

Simply adding a new PerlMonks Discussion node, to promote an older PerlMonks Discussion node, has the same problem in that it too will fall into disuse: "I want more monkquips" had various responses throughout 2009; then one in each of 2010, 2011 & 2015.

Accordingly, I'm throwing out the idea for discussion of having a Quip Quest. I envisage this would be set up similar to the poll idea quest YYYY, in the Quest category (which appears at the top of the The Monastery Gates).

A How do I create a Quip? page would have comparable information to the How do I create a Poll? page. Here's a non-exhaustive list:

• Maximun length of quip.
• Intended quip target location: XP Nodelet, Chatterbox, ...
• Optional background & foreground colours. I would stipulate that this option requires both colours and that they be contrasting (to avoid issues with Display Settings custom colours).
• Links to related threads; e.g.
  • I want more monkquips
  • Random quotes in the top left corner
  • Monk's quips

The suggested quip(s) should perhaps be within <spoiler>...</spoiler> tags — I'm not sure about this requirement.

Looking forward to your thoughts on this.

Not sure what the best strategy is ...

• automatically deleting/replacing all links with a DB query?
• relinking to a snapshot in the wayback machine?
• mirroring of old content from the wayback machine somewhere "safer"?
• ignoring?

A generic solution would be nice.

Yesterday, "Reaped: Re^2: Perl ZX Spectrum Emulator" was reaped (Reason: Admin) and the account of the author, OliviaB (#11151243), was locked.

Today, I see a similar post in the same thread: "Reaped: Re^2: Perl ZX Spectrum Emulator". The author is a new OliviaB (#11151270).

I'm a little surprised that an account, once locked, can simply be recreated. Does this need investigation?

Here's a quick way to add syntax highlighting to code blocks in the monastery:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/hi
+ghlight.js/11.7.0/styles/base16/one-light.min.css">
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlight.js/11.7.

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlight.js/11.7.

<script>
window.addEventListener( "DOMContentLoaded", ( event ) => {
  hljs.configure( {
    cssSelector: '.codeblock .codetext font',
    languages:   new Array( 'perl', 'html', 'css', 'xml', 'json', 'yam
+l', 'diff' ),
  } );
  hljs.highlightAll();

  /* If you use the free nodelet for only Javascript/CSS,
   * and not as a display area, then you can uncomment
   * the next line of Javascript.
   */
  // document.getElementById( 'Free_Nodelet' ).display.style = 'none';
} );
</script>
<style>
.codeblock .codetext font {
  white-space: pre;
  display: block;
  padding: 0.5rem;
  margin: 0.5rem 1rem 0.5rem 0;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  border-radius: 0.125rem;
}
</style>

You may want to double-check the CSS selector used because I think this may differ based on other settings you've chosen.

Also, you may wish to choose a different colour scheme. highlight.js (the syntax highlighter used) comes with a huge variety of colour schemes. Scroll down to the bottom of this page to find URLs for other options. (And previews are here.)

If anyone here could help with the integration, it might be nice to see PerlMonks nodes apper on the Perl Planetarium.

Dear wise ones

my curious mind wishes to know, would the Founder of PERL, Mr. Larry Wall be sometimes seen wandering around the premises here? Also, do you have a designated person to welcome newcomers? Being a business graduate with a non-CSE background, I see that a balance between quantity and quality is important for survival. If a programming language (a product in marketing terms) is not much popular, we could try to highlight its benefits that many people wouldn't know.

The following metacpan directive (mod://) does not work for me make_schema_at of DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader, it should redirect to https://metacpan.org/pod/DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader#make_schema_at. But it sends me to this: https://metacpan.org/pod/DBIx%3A%3AClass%3A%3ASchema%3A%3ALoader%23make_schema_at

But (on modern Firefox) when I hover over the link I see that it points to the correct url. On modern Chrome it fails as well, but the hover has %3A and %23.

G'day All,

This morning, I saw in "Best Nodes" a link to "Re^12: Perl XS binding to a struct with an array of chars*". I looked in RAT to get an idea of the activity in this thread: there were a number at "Re^9" but nothing deeper. I went to the Page Settings (bottom of the RAT page) to change the maximum depth but the selection only provides 0-10.

Scrolling through (the very long) "Perl XS binding to a struct with an array of chars*", I found a couple at "Re^10" as well as the "Re^12" (from Best Nodes). So, I haven't lost access to any content; however, it would've been preferable to get a high-level view via RAT.

Can that "maximum depth" selection be extended? I don't know if there are other factors involved, so I don't know what to suggest beyond arbitrary ranges such as 0-20 or 0-99. Alternatively, could there be a "no depth limit" checkbox? I imagine a text entry box would be another option, but I suspect that might require a fair bit of validation and other work which pmdev's may not want to undertake (although, I'm very much guessing about that).

The past few times I've logged in here (sadly, days or sometimes a week apart) I'm seeing big bumps in XP. Most recently, the XP nodelet congratulated me on +92.

At first I thought it was some recent post getting a lot of attention, but I'm not seeing that. Then I thought maybe a really old post hit reddit or something. But when I search my posts by reputation I'm not seeing new top contenders. That leaves the possibilities that I have no idea what post is getting upvoted so much, or that a bunch of posts are getting upvoted a little, but continuously over the past month or so, or that there's a bug.

Has anyone else noticed this behavior?
