Well, welcome! And a little advice from someone who has taken their knocks around here:
- Check out Understanding and Using PerlMonks
- Don't be offended. You'll learn quickly that a) Monks don't like homework, especially doing yours; b) they want to see what you've tried before you asked, i.e., show your work; and c) they want to see that you've done some researching on your own before clogging the airways with questions that have been asked a million times before.
- If you do show your code, you better start off with use strict; and wrap it with <code> tags or you'll get your wrists slapped right off the bat.
- Cruise around the hallways of the monastery—there's lots of hidden treasures.
- As you get more competent, give a hand to others not as far along in their journery.
Lastly, prepare to learn how to write Perl code the correct way—these grumpy old Monks are the best around.

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).
