When I first took an interest in Perl, this site was what
convinced me it was worth pursuing. When someone would
post a particularily interesting problem, I was always
amazed to see eight or ten completely different
implementations. `Dumbing down Perl' will certainly
improve the novice comprehension, but please, don't stop
giving the really clever solutions as well. TIMTOWTDI
is an important theme around this place, and should be
taught to beginners along with the code.

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).
