This site has been useful to me both in the immediately pragmatic aspect of finding a technical answer, and in the broader philosophical aspect of programming style and self-sufficiency.
Self-sufficiency? Well, yeah. I don't post often, because I usually find the answer to my question by searching through the site's history. There is nearly always a question that is only slightly different from the one bothering me, and that question has already been answered thoroughly by many Monks. So rather than asking my question, I use the existing answers.
Some folks have truly unique questions. I am not one of those folks.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
