Thanks for the consideration, but you need to link to the code part only https://perlmonks.org/?node_id=176043;displaytype=displaycode And even that isn't save, i.e. immutable, as long as someone could log in and change the code. In other words, the code would need to be posted anonymously. And of course the code needs to be checked by us.

How is a tinyurl safer than giving the explicit URL? At least with an explicit URL you immediately have a provenance. A tinyurl link could go anywhere. While the code fiddling issues are concerning, they aren't altered by how the code is accessed so are irrelevant when considering replacing the tinyurl with an explicit URL. Optimising for fewest key strokes only makes sense transmitting to Pluto or beyond	[reply]

Research shows students prefer Apple devices. Apple carpet bombs the country with about 20,000,000 copies of Perl per year (now up to 40 million: Why does Apple Mac ship with TWO versions of Perl??). They are everywhere. Perl is EVERYWHERE!	[reply]
