would the Founder of PERL, Mr. Larry Wall be sometimes seen wandering around the premises here?

The best way to find out is to keep reading!

Also, do you have a designated person to welcome newcomers?

Many newcomers have received a welcome, but not necessarily by a designated person. PerlMonks isn't an organisation with defined roles.

...we could try to highlight its benefits that many people wouldn't know.

Yeah, feel free to do so! Different users see different benefits, and amongst the PerlMonks the language is being used for vastly different things. As for the new future, Perl 5.38 is around the corner, bringing (among other things) a new keyword class. I would expect its benefits to be discussed among PerlMonks in the near future.
