This is a very good point. PerlMonks is one of the newbie-friendliest Perl communities I have seen, and even though the user population has grown immensely, it still retains its original spirit of a "monastery" -- a place for learning, for community, and even for reflection.

It is always difficult to "let go" and post your little snippets, particularly if you have had bad flaming experiences in other forums. But this is very unlikely to occur here. As long as it is properly worded and formatted, it is almost certain that it will be appreciated by the community. So don't be afraid! Contribute to PerlMonks, and you will start learning a lot more than you possibly could just by watching.
