I think that the Perl Monks logo on every page (under monk pictures) should be an absolute url, rather than relative. Otherwise saved pages when browsed locally don't have any reliable links back to PerlMonks (such as perldocs).

print 'epoptai';

    You think you are extremely clever, don't you :?)
    How about a clientside image map, along the lines of:
<MAP NAME="perlmonks">
   <AREA SHAPE="rect" COORDS="0,0,15,100" HREF="http://www.perlmonks.c
+om">
   <AREA SHAPE="rect" COORDS="15,0,30,100" HREF="http://perlmonks.com"
+>
   <AREA SHAPE="rect" COORDS="30,0,45,100" HREF="http://www.perlmonks.
+net">
   <AREA SHAPE="rect" COORDS="45,0,50,100" HREF="http://perlmonks.net"
+>
   <AREA SHAPE="rect" COORDS="50,0,65,100" HREF="http://www.perlmonks.
+org">
   <AREA SHAPE="rect" COORDS="65,0,70,100" HREF="http://perlmonks.org"
+>
</MAP>
<IMG SRC="colorperlmonkssm.gif" USEMAP="#perlmonks">

      Not only am I extremely clever, I'm just sane and well-rested enough to reply to the right post and keep my comments out of the code and avoid random spacing in HTML tags.

      'course, that won't work unless you change the <IMG SRC...> line to have an absolute URL in it. ;-)

    Should it link to www.perlmonks.com, perlmonks.com, www.perlmonks.org, perlmonks.org, perlmonks.net or www.perlmonks.net? =P

        Hey, I was just being extreme, some other smarty-pants accused me of being clever...

      I don't know, all of them? Maybe jam in another line at the bottom near the footer. 
      honk(); honk();

    GNU Wget. 'nuff said.

    (although, it may cause the same problem you were describing... But I think a small amount of Perl would help too...)

      (my point was that if the site was tweaked like this we all wouldn't have to modify every saved page, but thanks for the wget link ;-)

      Another little detail, after doing a search, ending up somewhere like this makes one select and delete half the search value to get back to perlfunc, how about a link?

      perlfunc:exists

      Update: I've learned that this next suggestion can be realized by using jcwren's nifty luke_repwalker.pl, and have since written a companion script to luke called repviewer.
      I might as well get it out of my system and confess that i'm always curious about where gained or lost experience points come from. Imagine if something like...

      You gained 10 experience points!

      ...led one to something like the writeup listing accessed by clicking the number near "Writeups:" in home nodes, showing +n or -n per node.

      Just because i'm mentioning gremlins doesn't mean that i don't find this to be one of the all time tightest, densest, most useful, responsive and fun websites on earth. ;-}

      not if you use the -k option (aka --convert-links).
