An off topic question section - Say SORW (seekers of random wisdom) where monks can ask non-perl questions without 'polluting' SOPW.
Uh, no. That's like me going in to a movie theatre and yelling "car for sale", to use the old Usenet analogy.

There's no reason to reincorporate all of Usenet into the monastery. If you want Usenet, you know where to find it, and so do I when I want to read about non-Perl things. Let's stay focussed on Perl-related issues here.
