in reply to Updating nodes, and not being able to update top nodes...

I think that editing any node is no good idea since it might change the message of the node totally. I think the it woul be better if the update should be appended to it and also marked as added
-- package Lizard::King; sub can { do { 'anything'} };

    It is a good idea to allow code to be edited though so that someone doesn't come along and accidentally copy something with a mistake in it, having missed the 'Update:' note at the bottom of the node. Typically, editing is done appropriately here. The node is edited (with minor changes), and the 'Update:' at the bottom of the node tells exactly what has changed. -Dean
