Add an ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS section to the pod in the source and mention the specific Perl Monks in there, or mention the Monastery (maybe with a URL) more generally. You do have pod in your source, don't you? ;-) Liz	[reply]

Let's pretend I'm stupid.... OK, I am. Pod? Is it fair to stick a link to my site here? Thanks for you patience.	[reply]

There is no standard set, but how about linking to our Offering Plate: `<a href="http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=71130"></a>` [download] jeffa L-LL-L--L-LL-L--L-LL-L-- -R--R-RR-R--R-RR-R--R-RR B--B--B--B--B--B--B--B-- H---H---H---H---H---H--- (the triplet paradiddle with high-hat)	[reply] [d/l]

You can do this: Send a message to the author, I think nothing would make the author more happy than knowing his/her code is appreciated by another monk. Add a link to the author's home node. But check with the author first, see whether he/she wants his/her home node to be linked.	[reply]

Giving credit to people is nice, but my concern as a programmer is helping readers understand my program. I don't worry about plagiarism, people know I didn't invent red-black trees. But a reference to wherever I looked up while writing aa module is useful becuase people can better understand my thinking. I would suggest having a link to the root of the discussion thread that improved your code, so people can see the whole stream. -- `TTTATCGGTCGTTATATAGATGTTTGCA`	[reply]

Taking the suggestions here I will have a link to the node that gave ideas for my choice of code. And a link to the offering plate. The link to the node will be in the comments for the section of code in question, and in the pod acknowledgements. In the pod acknowledgements will be the link to this site and the offering plate. Thank you "No matter where you go, there you are." BB	[reply]
