Use Q&A or Super Search. If that doesn't help, you may be able to find the answer in perlfunc or perlvar. If that doesn't help either, use:

use strict;
use warnings;

With well over 500,000 nodes in Perlmonks, getting the "full hierarchy" looks like a most daunting task. Super Search is always a good way to start your queries. Regular visiting of the Newest Nodes gives you a good feel of what is being asked and answered. Tutorials are a real treasure trove of information and best practices. Perlmonks FAQ and The Perl Monks Guide to the Monastery are of course required reading and should never be more than a mouse-click away.

Are you talking about site navigation and use? Take it all one step at a time. For the first step, read the PerlMonks guide to the Monastery. Therein, you'll find where to post what, and where to find what. For example, this post probably belonged in PerlMonks Discussion, not Seekers of Perl Wisdom (by now it may have been moved).

Next, refer to the PerlMonks FAQ. And be sure to read node 17558 prior to posting, so you'll know how to format your posts here. Hint: We rarely use
tags. Try to forget they even exist. The same goes for

 tags; leave them alone for now.

After that, when you have specific topics you're trying to research, look at Super Search.

Let us know what specific areas of interest we might help you to better understand.
Could anyone tell me how to get the full advantages of
Perlmonks.
That's really a loaded question.  The best answer I can give is to read everything you can get your hands on, from quality sources.  Read Learning Perl, Programming Perl, the Perl documentation, the Alpaca book, the Mouse book, the Cougar book... books on Computer Science, books on algorithms, and so on.  Read posts here.  Try to figure out the answers on your own.  Study.  There are no shortcuts, but there are plenty of aids and tools at your disposal, and this site is one of them.
