What if there was a possibility of a new CGI/HTML section dealing w/ code style and asthetics here at perlmonks.org? In my opinion, it is a much needed new section for this user site because it would address the issues that newbies including me don't really understand in the vast world of Perl/CGI/ and HTML how the code should really look to be really clean and so on, and what some of the basic 'look and layout' of general sites written in Perl/CGI and so on, should look like.

It is true that many experienced users here at perlmonks.org already know by heart what code should both be programmed as and cleaned up to look 'nice' plus how it should be layout wise to be clean, concise and clever (ccc.) However, many newer users located here among us at the monastary do not understand many of the common techniques of how to write clean and great looking code at all, and might like to know more about it, thus implementing an entirely new section on perlmonks.org.

Granted this may sound similar to damian1301's latest discussion post, posted earlier this week, but this is a completely different and unique section than that one. Maybe one to be considered a possibility that may be even started here at perlmonks.org one day :).

If you have any ideas to contribute to this little idea of mine, please reply to this message! Thanks for listening to little old me :) and um, keep on programming, programming, programming! :-)
