Having taken a long break, where I was 'PerlMonks free' because I wasn't doing much Perlish, I have to say - I don't think it is less active.
Indeed, I think perhaps the opposite - there seems to be a fairly steady stream of things to read and respond to.
But in no small part, the reason I came back, is because I was looking up something to do with Perl, and found that Perlmonks had a variety of very useful and valid conversations on the subject. I must confess, I was a little surprised to find it healthy and well, but so it is. And I'm very pleased. There are perhaps a few fewer meditations and the like than there were. But then, perhaps Perl is getting more mature and stable. Perhaps 'elegant' code is getting better understood.

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).
