A Beginners Section/Corner, additionally to Tutorials?

Hello Fellows!
As i make my hard progress in learning Perl i wonder if there would be something useful like a beginners corner?
I know there are the tutorials already...
Or something like "Quickstart for Perl for the impatient" (when it is possible to quickstart in Perl at all ;-). Maybe with hints for some of the "widely used Modules" e.g.?
I wondered where (in which section) i could suggest to use an "Editor" or IDE like Padre padre.perlide.org/, or write a review to Editors?
What you think?
Do you totally disagree and want to point new users to sites like http://perl-begin.org/ or they should google for: perl beginner. I think maybe a "Thread" with useful links could help much?

This is a FAQ. Please see I think there should be a new Section on PerlMonks for Jobs/Modules/Quizzes/Perl6/Newbies/OffTopic/etc. HTH, planetscape	[reply]

Ok. Sorry for this i missed this topic. I saw i had to click on need help. I dont think that there could be a Rename of the Need Help Button? Honestly i must admit i totally overlooked the need Help button. Maybe it could be called "Need Help (FAQ)??".Or am i the only one which has difficulties finding the FAQ? But experience tells me that this will not get reality here ... --stopping getting better is stopping being good-- Thanks MH	[reply]

Well there is that FAQ that planetscape pointed out. But more the point, I think, is that the Tutorials section is adequate for what you want. No subject is too beginner-level to be in that section. The "Getting Started With Perl" subsection is particularly appropriate. What is the sound of Windows? Is it not the sound of a wall upon which people have smashed their heads... all the way through?
