I think you should be able to post questions on SoPW..without
fear of being downvoted. Many newbie questions may
seem dumb or trival.. but who knows.. there are most likely others out
there that have had the same questions and may be afraid to
ask. We've all been newbies at one time or another. :) I think that most here would gladly be able to help
or explain - but before posting any question - try and
see if it's been posted or explained before using
Super Search or whatnot (i.e.
Google , PerlDoc.com, etc.).

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).

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