I doubt I am the only monk who sees a couple of questions a day that have been asked a hundred times before.

How do I make a progress indicator, how do I keep the browser around on a long download, how do I do etc...

What's the best O'Reilly book of all time? In my opinion, the Perl Cook Book. There aren't many answers I can't find in there. What about setting up a Perlmonks Cookbook. Most of the answers are already here, it's just a matter of taking the content and repacking it into a more user friendly form. We could link to existing nodes as well.

Search doesn't seem to cut it for alot of people and many don't even bother. I think something like this could cut down alot on the line noise here and be a great resource for everybody.
