We already have a "PerlMonks for newbies". It's called PerlMonks. And Hey, you've found it already!
I can only see disadvantages in offering a PerlAspirent web site:
- Fewer newbie questions generating traffic at PerlMonks and therefore less interest in the site
- Mentors with less experience providing less understanding of poorly asked questions and poorer answers
- Confusion over where to post questions and double posting
- Less incentive to improve PerlMonks interface
Ok, that is an extreme stance than is really warranted
Points for wishing to help, but splitting the effort is not the way to do it in this case.
Perl's payment curve coincides with its learning curve.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
