I think this is a excellent++ idea! Personally, I learn much quicker from examples than from documentation and theory. I enjoy and consume theory but have a much easier time seeing ways to put the theory into practice by seeing and understanding how others have applied it.

While this is possible to do by 'studying the source Luke' it is much clearer, and quicker, for me if I can see and understand the rationale for why something was done rather than just seeing and exploring what was done.

Just my $.02

• 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.
