in reply to Seekers of mod_perl Wisdom?

I agree with scain. Too much granularity is not healthy for the Monastery. Let's not forget the possible trends Seekers Of Tk/Perl Wisdom and Seekers Of ActiveState Perl Wisdom.

If you have a problem with a RegEx in your mod_perl script, would you post it to SOPW or to SOm_pW?
An error in judgement could make your question unavailable for that willing monk who thinks you are asking for something (s)he doesn't know. And when the answer comes, it will be flagged as belonging to that category where you asked, thus hiding it from the desperate eyes of the seekers of the other perl wisdom.

However, a welcome improvement would be a subject tag for each node, so that we could categorize each root node by one or more subjects, making it easier to search.
Example: a request about pattern matching from %ENV in a mod_perl script could be tagged as "mod_perl, CGI, taint, input, RegEx" and the answer could be useful to any user seeking advice in one of those categories.

    Does the Keyword Nodelet handle this?

    However, I don't know if, in general, posters and others remember to use it. I wonder what it's usage stats are like?

    Described at: New Keyword Functionality.

      AFAIK you can't search for info you entered in the keywords nodelet.
      And anybody can add keywords to any node. I realized that when I activated my KW nodelet and looked at best nodes. Somebody entered a few not exactly positive remarks there.
      For the keyword nodelet to be usable, we might need some re-organization of its I/O.

      I was thinking about a list of subjects to pick from a checkbox and that can be later retrieved from the Super Search.
      The subjects should be some categorization that goes across the current sections, i.e. the subjects "mod_perl" or "CGI" can equally apply to a node in SOPW, Cratf, Snippets, Cool uses for Perl, Meditations or Tutorials.
