Folks-

I'm having my Friday moment a little early this week...

Needing to learn about the LWP::Simple module, I wanted to cobble up a quick test program. What to do... what to do... then, I began to wonder... What is the lowest PM node_id I have access to? 

use strict;
$|++;

use LWP::Simple qw($ua get);
$ua->proxy('http', 'http://myproxy');

# Skip nodes 0 and 17...
# for my $id (1..16, 17..50) { Ooops...
for my $id (1..16, 18..50) {
    my $url = "http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=$id";
    print "$url: ";
    my $content=get($url);
    if ( ($content) && ($content!~/You don.t have access to that node.
+/) )
    { print "Good\n"; last } else { print"\n" };
    sleep 2;
}

I put the sleep in there so I didn't overload the server too much.

node_id=0: Ok, this is the Monastery gates, that doesn't count. Hmmm, doesn't seem to work as a reference though - [id://]
node_id=17: is goofed up somehow, check it out [no such node, ID 17]
node_id=23: seems to be the winner Everything 2 Idea List

Now my paranoia kicks in. What do nodes 1..16,18..22 contain? What are the gods hiding? Are they talking about me...
