As such, it is a place to post relatively large, relatively mature code components, such as applications, modules, and frameworks. While it does support discussion ensuing from such posts, it is not really the best place to ask programming questions. (Open-ended requests for feedback are fine, however.) In some sense, it can be considered slightly redundant with [http://www.cpan.org/|CPAN]. </p> <p> Posting in this section differs somewhat from posting in other sections. For starters, you're supposed to provide data in three additional fields besides the title and code content — namely: <b>Category</b>, <b>Description</b>, and <b>Contact info</b>. (The last should be considered "very optional".) </p> <p> Postings in this section are organized into categories. Therefore, you should indicate which category your code belongs in. New categories are almost never made; so you should visit the [id://1747] section page to see what categories already exist, and choose one of those. </p> <p> The Description field is a short note for perl monks. Real <i>documentation</i> should be embedded in the Code field somehow (e.g. in [doc://perlpod|POD]). </p> <hr/> <p> The [id://17688|approval/moderation process] <b>does not apply</b> to nodes in this section.<br/> You can search in this section using [id://3989]. </p> <p> [Code Catacombs sitedoclet] </p> --> <hr width ="80%" align="left" /><a name="About-the-Reviews-section"><h3><a href="?node_id=244016">About the Reviews section</a> <i><small>(<a href="#toc">Top</a>)</small></i></h3></a><p> <a href="?node=Reviews">Reviews</a> </p> <p> <a href="?node=Reviews%20sitedoclet">Reviews sitedoclet</a> </p> <hr width ="80%" align="left" /><a name="About-the-Perl-News-section"><h3><a href="?node_id=244015">About the Perl News section</a> <i><small>(<a href="#toc">Top</a>)</small></i></h3></a><p> <a href="?node=Perl%20News">Perl News</a> </p> <p> <a href="?node=Perl%20News%20sitedoclet">Perl News sitedoclet</a> </p> <hr width ="80%" align="left" /><a name="About-The-Monastery-Gates"><h3><a href="?node_id=243876">About The Monastery Gates</a> <i><small>(<a href="#toc">Top</a>)</small></i></h3></a><p> <a href="?node_id=131">The Monastery Gates</a>, <i>aka</i> The Front Page </p> <p> No <a href="?node=sitedoclet">sitedoclet</a> </p> <p> See: <ul> <li> <a href="?node_id=972">The Perl Monks Guide to the Monastery</a> <li> <a href="?node_id=252754">What nodes should/should not be FrontPaged?</a> </ul> </p> <p> The appearance of the Front Page is controlled (to some extent) by your <a href="?node=User%20Settings">User Settings</a> and <a href="?node=Nodelet%20Settings">Nodelet Settings</a>. </p> <hr width ="80%" align="left" /><a name="About-the-Newest-Nodes-view"><h3><a href="?node_id=244019">About the Newest Nodes view</a> <i><small>(<a href="#toc">Top</a>)</small></i></h3></a><h1>About the Newest Nodes view</h1> <p> <a href="?node=Newest%20Nodes">Newest Nodes</a> is an up-to-the-moment listing of all the nodes which were created since "the last time you checked". </p> <p> Use <a href="?node_id=492848">Newest Nodes Settings</a> for configuring your <a href="?node=Newest%20Nodes">Newest Nodes</a>, and setting/clearing your "last checked" time. </p><p> You can opt to see or not see any of the sections in Newest Nodes.<br /> You have some control over the formatting/verbosity of the "table of contents" shown at the top of Newest Nodes.<br /> You can opt to see or not see reaped nodes in the Newest Nodes listing.<br /> You can have a few choices for the order in which nodes are listed in each section. </p> <p> <a href="?node=Newest%20Nodes">Newest Nodes</a> links to <a href="?node=Recently%20Updated%20Home%20Nodes">Recently Updated Home Nodes</a> at the bottom, for your convenience. </p> <h4><a name="#lastchecked"></a>The Newest Nodes "Last Checked" Time</h4> <p> Perhaps the most important control over Newest Nodes is your "last checked" time. Whenever you click the "I've checked all of these" button on <a href="?node_id=3628">Newest Nodes</a>, your "last checked" field is set to the time at which the Newest Nodes page was loaded — in other words, the point in time up to which you've see nodes listed. </p><p> If this field is set, <a href="?node_id=3628">Newest Nodes</a> uses the date/time stored there as a limit for how far back to show you "new" nodes. (However, <b>60 days</b> is the hard limit. If your "last checked" value is older than that, only 60 days' worth of nodes will be shown. Note also that <b>no more than 7 days' worth of replies</b> are ever shown, regardless of the setting of this field, due to server load considerations.) </p><p> If this field is unset (i.e., cleared), then <a href="?node_id=3628">Newest Nodes</a> lists nodes created during the preceding 24-hour period, and gives you a selection widget to view optionally up to 14 days of recent nodes. </p><p> If you're the type who checks <a href="?node_id=3628">Newest Nodes</a> several times throughout the day, you can click "I've checked all of these" each time, so that the subsequent render of the page only shows you what's really new. If you ever decide, "Aw, my 'last checked' time is too recent; I want to see older nodes," then you can click the "Clear my 'last checked' time" button; this clears out the date/time value stored in that field. (And of course, there is always <a href="?node=Super%20Search">Super Search</a> for maximally flexible node listing.) </p><p> Clearing your "last checked" time is also useful if it is set to some time in the distant past — for example, if you're away from the Monastery for a long time. You don't need to worry about overtaxing the server in this case, however, since <a href="?node=Newest%20Nodes">Newest Nodes</a> will never show you more than 60 days' worth of nodes, regardless of how far back your "last checked" time is set. </p> <p> This "last checked" value, if set, is used in a few other places in the Monastery as well: <ol> <li><p>When viewing a node thread, any replies which are newer than your "last checked" time have some extra style class added, so that you can highlight them. If you would find this useful, go to your <a href="?node=Display%20Settings">Display Settings</a> and add some CSS along these lines: <pre class="code"><div class='codeblock'><tt class='codetext'>td.reply-new { background-color: #FC7 } td.reply-new-body { background-color: #FBB } </tt></div><div class='embed-code-dl'><a href="?displaytype=displaycode;abspart=1;node_id=244019;part=1">[download]</a></div></pre> Of course, you can use different colors or do whatever other styling you like to make these "new replies" stand out. </p></li> <li><p> When you visit <a href="?node=Tutorials">Tutorials</a>, "new" tutorials (if any) are listed at the top. "New" means posted since your "last checked" time, if set, or within 30 days, if not. </p></li> <li><p> <a href="?node=Recently%20Updated%20Home%20Nodes">Recently Updated Home Nodes</a> also uses your "last checked" time to limit the list of "recently" updated nodes. </p></li> </ol> </p> <hr /> <i>Back to the <a href="?node=PerlMonks%20FAQ">PerlMonks FAQ</a></i> <hr width ="80%" align="left" /><a name="About-the-Offering-Plate"><h3><a href="?node_id=244020">About the Offering Plate</a> <i><small>(<a href="#toc">Top</a>)</small></i></h3></a> <p> <a href="?node=Offering%20Plate">Offering Plate</a> </p> <p> No sitedoclet. </p> <hr width ="80%" align="left" /><a name="About-the-Library"><h3><a href="?node_id=244010">About the Library</a> <i><small>(<a href="#toc">Top</a>)</small></i></h3></a><p> <a href="?node=Library">Library</a> </p> <p> No sitedoclet </p> <hr width ="80%" align="left" /><a name="About-the-Craft-section"><h3><a href="?node_id=244012">About the Craft section</a> <i><small>(<a href="#toc">Top</a>)</small></i></h3></a><p> <a href="?node=Craft">Craft</a> was an old section intended for the posting of substantial chunks of code (scripts, modules, etc.) It was superceded by <a href="?node=Code%20Catacombs">Code Catacombs</a> and <a href="?node=Cool%20Uses%20For%20Perl">Cool Uses For Perl</a>, and subsequently put out to pasture (i.e. disabled).
