I don't think you could be more incorrect, the community in my experience has been nothing but friendly and helpful. I'm not a programmer by training, I haven't been in the Perl for long so I can't speak for how it used to be BUT the Perl community is one of the reasons I'm a semi-competent programmer today. The community has helped me work out problems with my code and taught me things about Perl that has been essential for my research work for free. The only people I hear say anything negative about Perl-users and the community are trolls or those that have very little experience with the community.

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.
