The frontpage is not generaling a style sheet tag. Here is what I get for the source of the page HEAD section: 
  <head>
    <title>
      Perl Monks - The Monastery Gates
    </title>
    <!-- No CSS Link in User Settings -->
    <!-- No CSS Data in User Settings -->
    <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
    <meta name    = "description"
          content = "A community committed to sharing Perl
                     knowledge and coding tips.  The site
                     contains questions and answers, useful
                     snippets, and a library of code."
    />
    <meta name    = "keywords"
          content = "perl, mod_perl, regular expressions,
                     regexp, xp whoring, CGI, programming,

    />
  </head>

All other pages (for me, at least) throw in the following: 
<style rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
      body {
        color:            #000000;
        background-color: #FFFFFF;
      }
      a:link    { color: #006600  }
      a:visited { color: #666666 }
    </style>

OK - who changed something in the underlying code, and can you back the changes out? For the record, I am using IE 6.0 with all the latest patches. It has a high level of CSS compliance.

to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
