I understand where you're coming from. PM is blessed by the presence of several active Perl gurus. Curse their bones. {grin} Often I will go to answer a question, and be intimidated by the quality and depth of answers before me.

I suggest just plunging into answering. Newest Nodes is a good place to start if you park your browser here, otherwise it's hard to find a node with no answers. Look for a node where you have something to add - even though others have answered, you have have either an alternative viewpoint, a bit more depth, or a clearer example. Don't worry about 'first post', like at some other online community that shall remain nameless, just add where you can. That's all any of us can do.
