And even though the titles are from Western Religion I have personally always felt PerlMonks has had an Eastern feel to it.

The titles are only words. Borrowed from the christian religions, but only words. Even Perl itself has borrowed from there: bless, and perhaps crypt and study. I think this are traces of Larry.

The Perl community could have choosen a very different theme: bind, chomp, chop, die, kill, lock, no, tie, tied, truncate all sound like coming from a dark BDSM dungeon ... ;-)

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.
