If you go directly to the various sections -- Seekers of Perl Wisdom, Cool Uses for Perl, Snippets, Meditations, Code Catacombs, Categorized Q&A -- you can easily browse over hundreds of postings, in a manner similar to what you see on the front page (in fact, the front page is just a sampler showing the latest interesting stuff from each section). For example, the SoPW, CUFP, Snippets and Meditations sections always have the 300 most recent postings (newest first) so you can dig back quite a ways; meanwhile, the index pages for Q&A and Code Catacombs are organized to allow for any sort of random or focused browsing.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
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
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
