You made perfect sense. You are saying it would end up like Perl News, the three code sections, etc. Maybe nodes in a general discussion section should be frontpageable but put near the bottom. It does seem like there are topics like HTML, System Administration, cryptography, C, Haskell, etc. that have loose ties (given the right context) to Perl. We could always say the new section is not meant for questions for competing languages such as Java, Python, Ruby, and PHP. Or just let downvoting send that message. I still do not think it hurts to give a new section a try (assuming it is not too much trouble). We could tweak it or delete as necessary and/or desired.

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).
