I tend to agree with you about XP. Sometimes it's useful and fun, but mostly it'd be nice if it just went away altogether. I find myself getting caught up in it occasionally, but talking and reading about Perl is what I'm really here for. I applaud your willingness to actually do something about it. You took an action which many would (and, based on the reaction, do) consider extreme. To me, as long as you keep posting questions and answers, we're no better or worse off than before. The irony is that you will probably end up getting upvotes for doing this. 8^)

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.
