in reply to moving nodes from Snippets to Code

Oh, who cares? No, that was rhetorical. They sound rather snippetish to me and the few I looked at don't look utterly unsnippetish. Yes, it'd be better to get rid of the distinction between "code" and "snippets". Creating sections that were too specialized was a mistake. We should have only one "here's code" section (and Cool Uses For Perl is probably the best format as the categorization features never worked well -- one day somebody may get some kind of tagging system working which makes more sense than trying to create categories). We should also merge poems and obfu into a single "fun" section. No, I wouldn't suggest holding your breath. :)

    Why not just prevent new posts to the other code sections and then suggest all code gets posted to Cool uses for Perl (or just pick one of the code sections)?

    Regarding poetry, I have to respectfully disagree. What other programming language has any significant claim to having cultural value to it? I think that's one of the unique aspects to the Perl community that makes the community and the language so great and I would hate to ever see that marginalized.
