"Perlmonks has smart people who really know their stuff and can answer just about any question".

I think you have the answer to your question there. I too have been in a similar position asking questions and getting no answer or useless information from other forums.

I had hoped that it would be possible to start an OT section within PM, but it does not seem to have sufficient support as yet to be adopted, but I live in hope!

There is however a workaround that I have found has helped me in the past, and that's the CB and the message system.

Ask your question in the CB, on just about any subject and you will either get an answer or a pointer in the right direction or the name of a Monk who may be able to help.

I'm continually being surprised at the wealth of knowledge that is PerlMonks on every imaginable subject.

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.
