Hi all,

Unfortunately it seems http://www.sscce.org/ now points to http://coderanch.com/ - such is the danger of linking to off-site resources, it seems.

Of course there's the on-site How do I post a question effectively? or I know what I mean. Why don't you?, but personally I'm not aware of an on-site resource that explains it quite like SSCCE does (well, used to). Can anyone recommend a node, or should we consider writing a new one?

Update 2016-12-14: See this reply: Although the site is back up at the moment, the document has also been mirrored here on PerlMonks, at Short, Self-Contained, Correct Example. It can be linked to via [id://1177642], and [SSCCE] will also direct the user to the correct page via a "faqstring" node (thanks to jdporter for setting this up).

Regards,
-- Hauke D
