With the risk of this becomming an "whip em out and measure who got the smallest." (code that is)
I can, with a lot of backing, say that Im the newbiest of all of you. Being a newbie ofcourse means that I still fear the downvote like the nodereaper himself. Im so new that I dont even own "Programming Perl", only "Learning Perl" 2ed. That book is by the way pure entertainment to read, just the foreword by Larry Wall is priceless. And it just gets better after that.
This being my first writeup and all I must say that I think that Perlmonks seems to be one of the best communities when it comes to looking after newbies.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
