That will not be enough. learn.perl.org is already pretty popular, linked from 
various places and has a high page rank. It needs to be revamped to make it 
better.

Such ad-hoc solutions are easy, but don't really solve the large problem. I've 
offered some help in making learn.perl.org better, but without access to the 
site's code, I cannot write patches for it. OTOH, people can write patches to 
perl-begin (which I originated and am still maintaining) or to perlmeme.org 
(which I got involved in), because their sources are available online.
