Wow, jcwren. This is an amazingly generous offer. Thank you!

I would like to second coreolyn's suggestion of using a separate box for the connection/firewall. OpenBSD is a good suggestion - stable and very secure right out of the box. You might also want to consider making the hosting machine run OpenBSD, for the same reasons.

As for names, I would suggest perlmonk.org (without the "s" at the end), which would make sense if you have individual subdomains (zzamboni.perlmonk.org), or perlmonastery.org. I would also second some of the previous suggestions:

monkcentral.net
monkweb.net
japm.net

and of course...

perlhunks.com!!!

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.
