Well, it works fine for me in Google Chrome, so I didn’t think to test it in other browsers. :-(

Works fine also in Internet Explorer 11, but in Firefox 31.0 it just takes me to perlfaq4. I’m not sure if that qualifies as a broken link, so I’m guessing you are using yet another browser?

Thanks for the link. I don’t know what “pmbk” refers to (and Messrs. Google and Super Search have left me none the wiser).

Update: Corion suggests “pmbk” may mean “PerlMonks bookmark”, referring to the JavaScript snippet. Makes sense.
