If you are unsure because the OP was ambiguous, then post with caveats. If you're not sure about it from a technical standpoint, the don't post. As others mentioned, if the post goes unanswered for a day or so, then go ahead and post with caveats/disclaimers.
The worst possible thing you can do is post both technically accurate answers to simpler questions (or on subjects you are much more familiar with) and ones you have little clue about. Because the Monks that have begun to rely on your correct answers will believe the ones that you have no clue about as well.

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.
