Perl is many things to me:
- A faithful friend - Perl is always there when I need something to lean on, or need help with a problem.
- A powerful tool - Few languages (or even, few things of any sort in the world) can compare to Perl's versatility.
- An art - The way you code and the way you share the things you write, these are forms of art, expressions of you and your use of Perl.
- A doorway onto a wonderful community - What other language would have a Monestary filled with monks and demi-gods of scripting? :-)

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
are good places to start.
