This one comes up for me every so often. I tend to find there is little one can do on the merits of the code. Mainly it involves lots of talking. Getting inside peoples head, and convincing them one by one.

But I do think that sharing promotes sharing. A local code repository of shared code might help. Perhaps all the POD transformed to HTML and searchable from a web page -- your own mini cpan/search.cpan. Definitely more docs.

Also make sure you use others code -- set a good example.

But mainly I think it takes time, and talking

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.
