No one has ever had enough of an issue with this to discuss it with me/us so this isn't really an issue until that point. > 4.

Agreed - I kind'a had a lot of other perl sites which needed love first... https://github.com/ranguard/learn-perl-org/commits/master/ I'm working on it now! I don't intend learn.perl.org to become a huge repository of information (see idea about core perldocs/faq being updated instead). I'm focusing on the very first steps (installing, tools, where to find more information) and will see how it goes from there.
