Very, very well done, in my humble opinion. I found it very informative even after having been here for a little over a year. Sometimes, you just wish you could ++ a node more than once, and I found this to be one of those times.
The admonition about it being their job to mine for the great ideas that can be found in here was right on. I also enjoyed your "starting points for getting used to" being here, especially #5. Perhaps that's something that should be mentioned more often.
Your offer of help to those who might be having a problem was very generous, and it is a spirit of generousity that I see time and time again here-one of the reasons I found myself returning so frequently after I first found my way here.
As to Marza's surprise about your advice to say hello to NodeReaper sometimes, I thought of the quote (the source of which I sadly do not know), "that which does not kill us, makes us stranger." But then again, in this community, I have yet to see anyone remain a stranger for long (unless they chose to).

Forgive a newbie for commenting but...
The original quote was Frederick Nietzsche, "That which does not kill us makes us *stronger*, the stranger part is either a rather amusing misqoute the authorship of which could probably be legitimately claimed by numerous individuals (including myself, whilst drunk;-)) or it is a typo.
Yours pedantically

A great intro! ++
As to enforce the need for code tags, why not have a before an after example to they can see what happens?
What about a "small" entry about the voting as that seems to come up from time to time
Say hi to NodeReaper??? You trying to scare them off? ;P

What a nice introduction!
Thank you for providing a concise list of some of the Perl Monk resources for newbies (and people who have been here for a while).

Very good intro to the Monestary. I have been dabling in perl here and there over the last year but have not dove very deeply into it. I am making it my priority to become proficient in perl. Well, I hope to be able to contribute as much as I can being a newbie and all while learning something along the way. Hello NodeReaper, be kind :)

zemote++ for looking up and reading the introduction documentation. It's good to see someone who looks around a bit before jumping in. Now it's time to jump in! lol. Anyhow, ++ for knowing about NodeReaper. You either have to treat him nice, or your name has to be rozallin. heh

Good node. If it typos matter here, then:
$last_line = 'Enjoy your say at the Monastery, and if you bump into No
+deReaper, don\'t forget to say "Hello."'.
$last_line = s/say/stay/;
...otherwise ignore :)

a very good introduction (!)
i'd even go so far to say, that newbies be directed to this after opening an account -
instead of the standard screen. (Since i just came across it after bein' here a month - but
i get lost easily *wink*.) Would help ease the confusion of being new and saving people from making the same mistakes, i should think.
anyways, nicely done. :-)

My first post here, just to ditto the typo post.
(of -> off)
"You may have noticed your name in lights at the top of every page. By clicking this, it will bring you to your home node. This is your home away from home, where you can post information about yourself or modify your settings for Perl Monks. As a first task, I suggest turning off JavaScript for home nodes. You can do this through your user settings at the bottom of your home node."

It isn't your homenode that you should be worried about. My homenode could easily contain javascript to steal your PM password (or any number of other things). And I might fool you into visiting it.
Fairly recently we changed the defaults such that most foreign javascript doesn't work (by default). See Tidings.
