I think princepawn is right. There are tons of places to get perl tips, and all are basically growing independently. It would be cool to try to unify some of the these projects into one searchable area. The most obvious candidate is mentioned in TPJ this issue and is a perlfaq database http://www.perlfaq.com/faqs/. The format look familiar anyone?

This next statmement might be sacrilege, so I hope I am not excommunicated. I think we should think about totally ditching Q&A before we put too much more effort into it, and move our valuable tidbits to perlfaq.com. Maybe make the Q&A section just an interface to perlfaq.com. Both websites are striving for the same goal, so it makes sense to sort of join forces (and I think this is in the spirit of the everything project). There is some obvious features missing from perlfaq.com compared to what is here, like the ability for anyone to instantly answer a question. But that privilege might get yanked from here also, so the differences are minor. It might just take some dicussions with them to resolve any issues either group might have. And I think their site is more closely moderated, so it should not have some of the data integrity issues that are currently in Q&A.

It is just an idea, but it would be nice to see some collaboration among the perl resource sites that are already going strong.
