Those are my guidelines, for my
code. Guidelines I enforce on myself, not on anyone else.
Having comments, POD or variable names in more than one
language isn't worthwhile, and if a language has to be picked,
English it is. And while I don't mind posts in non-English
languages, I've serious doubts about the usefulness of
postings that use a different language in each sentence
(other than translations, quotes, or making a point).
The main reason I published the guideline was not to have
others copy my guidelines, and use my coding style. The
guidelines raises a number of points, which I recommend
everyone to think about.

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.
