I like it. So what if it's "cargo cult" or it occasionally doesn't have the very best way to do something? Perl is sexy because the learning curve encourages diving in without really knowing what you're doing, then figuring stuff out later and getting "legit". Scriptome encourages this approach. It presents a lot of useful info, in a compact way.
I think it would be a better site if it allowed users to post improvements or observations at the bottom of "tools" pages, but even without this feedback feature, it looks pretty useful to me.
So, thanks for posting the link. Even though I have been programming perl for over a year, I will be browsing this site for useful tricks I don't know yet.

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.
