What do other monks do when there is the possibility of a "better path to walk" with code and modules?
Try out the available paths and see which one has less thorns.
How do you know which module is "right" for the task? (or wrong for the task)
Trial and error. You can only learn so much about a module by reading the docs. To really know a module you have to use it.
How do you search for something by name, which can only be described by concept?
Once again, trial and error. Concepts are hard to search for because different people express concepts differently.

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.
