It's always going to be a matter of personal judgement, and if I think something is marginally off-topic
There is no such thing as marginally off-topic.
Things are either on topic, or not (and keep in mind appropriate sections).
That particular node may be perceived as OT on the surface,
but once you see that it's in the "meditations" section,
you realize that it is exactly on topic.
It is a meditation and it is applicable to perl.
Now if this was posted in SOPW asking what's the best C++ development environment it would clearly be OT.

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.
