The Q&A on perlfaq.com (which, BTW, has had no new entries in far far too long)
are posted by people which you wouldn't have to worry about quality. Entries
were never allowed from the general public, but by people (me included) who Joe
Hall deemed fit to post.
However, due to an iffy copyright, you couldn't really include the entries
anyways. Last I knew, and read on the 'contributing' page all authors held
copyright to their individual entries. So, you may want to contact the
individuals before using them.
Some of these may appear in the Perl Tips list in the coming months.
Cheers,
Kevin
