I went to the Seekers of Perl Wisdom page and clicked the the "next entries" link at the bottom. Then I went through the ten questions (with a total of 60 replies) and skimmed through the replies. Two replies had links to How (Not) To Ask A Question and similar, one of those had a quip ("your bug is on line 42", directed at a monk who had posted no code). I also saw one that was a polite pointer to an external link.
I also went to Super Search and had a look at my own references to Super Search itself. Most of them say either "Super Search is your friend" or "Super Search is super". That's after a useful link that I'd found with Super Search.
Anyway, I think your estimated ratio of quipped to unquipped questions is a bit high.

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).
