I'm certainly no expert in the subject, however, it seems that I've noticed something quite different in Perl programmers than other programmers (that reference of course meaning someone who chooses to program in Perl consistently out of sheer love, worship, etc...., not just a typical general programmer who happens to know Perl), that difference being mainly a strong independent streak, and an un-willingness to follow the leader just because the rules say so. So, placing code-posting regulations on a Perl Monks site, seems to be a bit of a contradiction in logic; we're the renegades dam it, right? ;)

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.
