I agree that 'messing with a healthy ecosystem' is bad (I, for one, find the posts of those three incredibly informative and helpful). However, what of people who aren't part of the ecosystem? I'm sure there are people out there who, for reasons Andy Lester outlined, find Perlmonks too intimidating / complex / archaic looking / whatever, and consequently go elsewhere or even chuck Perl and learn Ruby. Perhaps another, separate offering of the sort cosmicperl is describing could benefit people outside the Perlmonks community who would not otherwise benefit?

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.
