Unmentioned are:
- Special sequences such as \n.
- Which characters need to be escaped in which kind of quotes.
- What happens if you escape a character that doesn't need escaping.
- Interpolation of arrays.
- Non-interpolation of hashes, globs and code.
- Special variables affecting interpolation, such as $, (and maybe only $,).
- How to interpolate expressions using "@{[ expr ]}"
- <<marker vs <<"marker" vs <<'marker'.
I'm not saying that any of these things should be mentioned, just that you should consider whether they should be mentioned or not.

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.
