Re: Displaycode suggestion

I like the idea -- I'm just not sure what the name should be... the name of the node with .pl appended, the nodeid with .pl appended, a cleanup of the node name...

# $NODE is a common feature throughout the codebase, please, don't com
+plaign about that element of my style.
my $filename = $NODE->{title};
$filename =~ s/[^A-Za-z0-9.-]/_/g;
$filename =~ s/__+/_/g;
$filename .= '.pl';

, perhaps?

I vote for `$nodeid.pl`. The node title is likely ambiguous, requires arbitrary scrubbing rules, and does not offer a reference back to the source node. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]

nodeid.pl ROCKS ... and incidentally, makes easy to find ones way back to the source.	[reply]

Why not append a comment on the last line giving the node id the code was pulled from? For jerks like me who wind up copying files about and renaming a lot. Just an idea... Update: After chat in CB, found out it'll fubar either the she-bang line and/or some obfu. grrr ---- Then B.I. said, "Hov' remind yourself nobody built like you, you designed yourself"	[reply]
