<toot>I like to think my node about Perl as a coffee house explains the position well .. instead of posting right off the bat, hang out for a while and get the lay of the land. Then, when you think you know what you're talking about, ask a question.</toot>
And I'm reminded of an on-line community I belonged to in the past (don't think it was Perl Monks) where one of the members said that, being from Texas, the following was important when disagreeing with some one:
Be sure that your words are soft and sweet, on the off chance that you have to eat them.
Words to live by.

but my friends call me T.

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.
