There are a number of suites in the Monastery that provide this sort of information:
- Seekers of Perl Wisdom: questions people have asked and answers they have received.
- Tutorials: Introductory (and not so introductory) materials covering Perl and Perl idioms, and much more
- Snippets Section: snippets of code that solve specific problems in an interesting or elegant fashion
- Cool Uses For Perl: full blown (by generally small) Perl solutions to various problems that demonstrate cool ways to do stuff with Perl
- Code Catacombs: large scale Perl applications and modules that solve high level problems using Perl
- Categorized Questions and Answers: a FAQ sorted by category with in depth answers to questions covering many different areas of Perl use
I don't think that adding yet another wing to the building is going to make the trail to find an answer to any particular question any shorter. A good way to save shoe leather and search all the material here is to use super search. Super search is your friend!

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.
