I broke up with my girlfriend in 2016, and I was trying to find a way to get over it. So, I decided to learn something. Perl seemed like the best choice for me, so I began reading online. I searched for words like "how to learn perl in hours" and free perl scripts, and somehow I ran across PerlMonks.
I created an account here, because I saw that the website is active and you can get really good advice here in minutes! You don't have to wait days and weeks for a response.
I also like that threads are always open, and you can add a comment to a threat even years later. On StackOverflow.com threads get closed after awhile. That site feels more like a dictatorship. PerlMonks is just the opposite. This place feels more friendly. Here you feel like your comments are being appreciated, and conversation is being encouraged rather than shut down. So, I must say this site feels a lot more positive.

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).

are good places to start.
