There already are a bunch of “get answers” sites, that are blatantly mercenary…… I hate the ruse they use where they break up a simple answer into multiple pages, so you are forced to look at more ads.
Err. Yes. Hence Stack Overflow. The fact that these sites suck was the motivation behind it. (I linked the post from my original post; did you read it?) I’m not sure who you are trying to convince of what.
Maybe I’ll get me a fake OpenID, and will post some answers there, with links to Perlmonks as answers. ha ha :-)
If your intent is to annoy Stack Overflow users rather than help them, please do the Perl community a favour and stay away.

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.
