Update to accept the new google:// links, in addition to the cpan:// links:

Replace the section for the perlmonks URLs with this code:

# URL to use for links into perlmonks, cpan, and google
my($perlmonksURL_base) = 'http://www.perlmonks.org/';
my($perlmonksURL_node) = 'http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node=';
my($perlmonksURL_id)   = 'http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=';
my($perlmonksURL_cpan) = 'http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=module&qu
+ery=';
my($perlmonksURL_google) = 'http://www.google.com/search?q=';

And update part of the launchBrowser sub with this code (also fixed those escaped slashes...):

    printMessage("\n*Launching browser for node $node...");
    if    ($node =~ s,^id://,,)     { $url = $perlmonksURL_id     . $n
+ode; }
    elsif ($node =~ s,^node_id=,,)  { $url = $perlmonksURL_id     . $n
+ode; }
    elsif ($node =~ s,^cpan://,,)   { $url = $perlmonksURL_cpan   . $n
+ode; }
    elsif ($node =~ s,^google://,,) { $url = $perlmonksURL_google . $n
+ode; }
    elsif ($node =~ m,^http:,)      { $url = $node;                   
+     }
    elsif ($node =~ s,^/+,,)        { $url = $perlmonksURL_base   . $n
+ode; }
    else                            { $url = $perlmonksURL_node   . $n
+ode; }

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.
