I didn't intend to incite drama. :) My suggestions are just my own opinions, and I reserve the right to be outvoted by the prevailing trends, or vetoed by the owner of the code (you).
I mentioned Perl Best Practices earlier. The book is great but not because it has 256 very good suggestions. No, it has 256 good morsels of food for thought. In the years since it was written some of the ideas took hold, others were shown to take us down a path toward madness, and some are hotly debated. I don't think my advice is any better. :)

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
