I disagree completely and I've made a lot of use of the archive. Finding
the code examples in the archive is often a laborious and fruitless
prospect. Assuming you even use the right search terms you still need to
wade through page and pages of results and hope that somone said
something to make it worthwhile. The benefits of a 'cookbook' is that
you can easily browse through it gleaning information from commented
code examples and finding answers you might not have been able to
properly phrase the question for. This is why the perl cookbooks have
been so amazingly useful to me. I'm not saying Mike shoudl be the one to
do this but it would be nice is there was a place where people could
submit tricks, tips, user tags and more to share with the rest of the
community.
