You are of course perfectly safe in giving your email address to perlmonks. Afterall the monks have more spiritual things to do than spend all day sending you email about their latest make money fast scheme :-)
However if you feal that you need to have a safe email address to use for registrations elseware then you might want to have a look at Spamgourmet which porvides a system for generating disposable email addresses.

I don't know what your ISP/Web provider set up is, but you might be able to set up an alias for each questionable site that you visit. Since I'm the default recipient for my domain, I get domain E-Mail that doesn't have a specific alias or mail box. It's sometimes quite informative to see how a specific E-Mail alias has been used or :) mis-used.
And if something bad happens, you can simply point that alias to a bit bucket and never be bothered again.
And don't worry about this site .. we don't bite.
