And that nails the best reason why it is a Good Thing to be able to tie a user to a post.

Your help is likely to be more effective if people are able to ask you questions about it, and if you are able to easily notice that someone posted a request for clarification. Therefore posting anonymously limits your ability to provide assistance to others.

Furthermore if you aquire a reputation for good posts, people will go through your historical posts and run across posts that they would not otherwise have read. Which again improves your effectiveness.

But that said, PM experience and Perl experience are rather unrelated. For instance I have more XP than chip, TheDamian, gbarr, Dominus or merlyn. But I do not consider myself more knowledgable about Perl or more experienced in programming than any of them...

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.
