I really enjoy moritz's Perl 6 responses. I think they're a practical and effective way to promote the language.
You might even see moritz as a modern day merlyn. :)
You see, twenty years ago merlyn loved Perl 3 so much that he
insisted on answering requests for Unix shell/sed/awk help
with snippets of Perl code.
So much so that many posters resorted to inserting "No Perl please"
in their posts!
As you might expect, this only provoked him further, and
the barrage of Perl 3 snippet responses
intensified.

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
