in thread Does PerlMonks do general code reviews?

You are assuming default behavior for spoiler tags. There are actualy several options that affect how spolier tags are rendered: "(default)", link, div, span, table, and reveal. The table view just puts dark text over a black background (in a table). The code is not collapsed or linked to in table view. That makes spoiler tags entirely inappropriate for large bodies of code, especially in root nodes. This seems like a classic example of misuing a feature without understanding the consequences. The readmore tag was designed to deal with large bodies of code and that is what should be used.

    That actually did cross my mind. I should have mentioned it (I was more concentrating on how best to use READMORE and mentioned my annoyance with misusing SPOILER as an aside). The full implications didn't "click". That is a much better reason to avoid trying to use SPOILER in place of READMORE than the ones that annoyed me. (:
