Knowing that I'm more likely to find what I'm looking for on CPAN than in the snippets and code sections, and given that I don't like to post in them, I tend to ignore those sections completely.

Well, I see, and it may well be that others share your feelings. It's a social issue though: it would be enough that you would try on the one hand to give those section one more chance and on the other one to possibly post there some interesting/good code of yours, passing or not passing through a meditation according to your tastes. Personally, I'm positive about those sections, and in case they actually are an underrated or underdeveloped part of the Monastery, I'd like to see them flourish instead. The potential is all there.
