In the #perl IRC channel that I frequent, we have an oft-repeated mantra: don't ask to ask, just ask. This applies here. You're essentially asking if you can ask a question. Of course you can, the whole point of the Monastery is to ask questions!
Of course, when you ask your particular question, it may be ignored, for a variety of reasons. That's not because we don't like questions, but usually reflects something particular about the question you asked. So, here's my advise: read the FAQs on how to ask a good question, then do it. Don't ask if you can ask.

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).
