Maybe it's just my perception, butI'd always thought of Perl Monks as a consensus mentor.
The state of being an apprentice is the forming of questions, and asking questions of the Mentor. Also of the Mentor posing questions for the Apprentice to puzzle and learn from.
In the various forums existing, there are already the question to answer parts. And not only that, but many minds contribute, eventually attaining a highly accurate answer, which is correct for most values of correct.
The posing of questions is oft done in the form of obfuscated perl, and in things like the Golf games.
Perhaps a lot could be gained from a new section written by the more enlightened monks, posing subtle teasers for the rest of us to learn from..

• 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.
