"If the only tool(forum) you know is a hammer(PerlMonks), every problem(question) looks like a nail(SoPW post)"
...OR...
"fora and fauna"
disclaimers:
- 'most anything perlish is accepted and welcome here at Our Fine Monastery
- I'm not complaining...
- nor proposing site change...
- nor fomenting mass monasterial desertion...
- rather, hoping to expand folks' horizons a bit (starting with my own)
with that said, I'll get right to the point*:
- our beloved perlmonks.org isn't the only good online Perl resource around
- some questions might be optimally asked elsewhere
- some discussions might be optimally held elsewhere
google for perl forums(fora?):
you can read/search/post-to these newsgroups all from the comfort of your browser:
perl mailing lists are plentiful plus archived at CPAN:
jasmine Jazz runs a solid-looking ubb gossamer threads perl forum:
not to mention the-not-necessarily-forummy info/resources at:
Hrm... how did I forget this'un?
wrap up with a question:
- What other Perl fora do you frequent?
- What's your criteria for ask/tell/announce somewhere outside these fair walls?
cheers,

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.
