The way I learned it:
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day;
Teach a man to fish and he'll spend his life savings on fishing tackle.
But seriously, in this one man's opinion, there is more grace available here at PM for those in need of a clue than there is in most places on the web. You are required to take advantage of it by reading the links, but it's generally worth the result. Which leads to the equivalent:
Give a man a Perlish App, and he'll have a solution for the problem at hand;
Teach a man to use PM, and he'll spend the rest of his life perusing the Monastery (and CPAN).

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
