Often when searching pm for a solution I'll discover old
nodes with old solutions (as well as new relevant nodes).
For example, searching for SoundEx I found a thread from 1999 (Approximate or Phonetic String-Matching) which didn't mention Text::Metaphone. I'd only discovered T::M from the same search at Re: comparing strings - better than soundex.
Should a good monk help his fellows by responding to
the old discussion with updated information or a
link to the newer discussion?
A similar predicament occurs when I post a question on
pm then some time later find code or read a mailing list
discussion which addresses the same question. Brad In reply to Updating and Linking Old Nodes by bsb
