This is quite a good idea, and something worthy of some collaborative
effort as well.

Some suggestions:

  - Put the work in a public code repo. Github would be my personal
choice, since it makes this sort of thing *very* easy to collaborate
on, and is already a widely accepted code-hosting platform.

  - Write the docs first. Worry about what p5p will think about it
later. It seems that efforts like this fall prey to politics and
bikeshedding *far* too often.

  - Encourage people to offer alternatives. TIMTOWTDI also means that
different people have different ideas on what is appropriate for
newcomers. Perhaps with several different approaches, we can test what
works best (by pointing folks to the docs from
#perl/#perl-help/perl-beginners@) and hopefully begin to converge on
something that fullfils the goals of this effort.
