These are interesting questions, but I have to put on my consulting engineer hat and ask, "What problem are you trying to solve with all of that extra stuff?"
The pages are plain because we're discussing and solving technical questions. We can do that without graphics or gorgeous CSS, so there's no need to add it. Yes, the look of the site may date it to the year 2000; however, the site is functional, and full of excellent reference material.

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.
