Re: Proposal for new section: Code Improvements

This section would allow monks to post code that already gets the job done, but the person would like to recieve advice and guidance as to how the code could be improved.

I always just used the code section.

Suggestions for improvements are already commonly posted in response. Why not just increase the visibility of the section and further encourage comments? Code is very rarely perfect, constructive criticism should always be invited.

The guideline for posting to Code Catacombs is that the code should be useful to others. Often I do code that has no meaning whatsoever to anyone else but me (or my company). This new section could be a chance to get some input on how to optimize such a program. (Yes, there's always Seekers of Perl Wisdom but that section requires one to formulate more specific questions. Sometimes I don't know where my bottlenecks are but someone else might.) Just my 2 cents... -- dempa	[reply]

The code is useful. It runs, others can learn by reading it, and can adapt it to their own uses. I just post it seeking improvements, which are inevitably provided. :)	[reply]
