in reply to remove the perl faq section
The only problem I'd have is that people have linked to pages in that section in previous posts. Those links would need to be updated to point to perldoc if the section was removed, and that's probably a big job, given that links may not always have a 1:1 relationship with pages at perldoc.

Every perlfaq node I've seen on perlmonks has linked to perldoc.com's page for the same doc. Perhaps an auto-forward there instead of the page with the link on it. This would accomplish the goal of not giving out-of-date information, while still maintaining the integrity of the links pointing to the current page. Just an idea... | [reply] |

The problem (in my mind) is that some of the perlfaq pages both have links to perldoc as well as old documentation from the site here, which may be what's actually referenced by the link. These are often answers somebody just came up with, and I've found some of them very useful. Removing them could make some links less useful or confusing, and any useful extra information they contained would have to be destroyed (or moved).
