BUT where else do you see a community like PM?
Oh, please. Thank god, nowhere else. To tell you a secret,
a lot of Perl people absolutely hate PM because of this
so-called "PM community". They are seen as pompous pricks
(and that's one of the less insulting terms I've heard),
who aren't much better than the slashdot crowd. And each
time I see posts like this, gloating about the nirvana of
"the perlmonk community", I've to agree with them.
I post here. But I'm not part of a "PM community". I don't
like being called a Perlmonk. I only post here because I
like to talk about Perl. But I don't consider PM to be anything else than Usenet with the poorest and slowest interface I've ever seen.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

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.
