My modules are, at the moment:
<ul>
<li>
[cpan://Speech::Recognizer::ScLite] -- a wrapper for a standard speech recognition evaluation toolkit
<li>
[cpan://Lingua::FeatureMatrix] -- (my current baby,) a tool for making phonology homework easy
<li>
[cpan://Chart::Plot::Annotated] -- an extension to Chart::Plot that allows extra text on the plots.
</ul>
<p>I also always try to keep a copy of the last few versions of each of these modules <a href="http://jkahn.perlmonk.org/modules/">here</a>.

<h2>Worthwhile reading</h2>
<ul>
<li>[jepri] explains why you're never quite done in [I can't get no...]
<li>[gmax] does a really thorough exploration of the old anagram problems in [id://135345|Perl's pearls]
<li>[Ovid] wrote Prolog in Perl: see his thread on [id://186348|AI::Perlog]. <i>[jkahn] shivers.</i>
<li>[demerphq] explains the [id://145659|Guttman-Rosler Transform]. If you thought the Schwartzian Transform was a brain-twister, wait 'til you see this.
<li>[Abigail-II] lays out why Perl OO is the <i>root of all evil</i> (and "broken as designed"), and should be handled with [id://189791|inside-out objects]. I confess that I have not yet mastered this technique.
<li>Scope the latest from [id://31092|PerlMonks chat modules].
<li>[deprecated] provoked an interesting discussion about how to [id://206678|improve bad coders].
<li>[ybiC] has a great [155288|Discussion and tutorial] on [cpan://Getopt::Long] and [cpan://Pod::Usage]
<li>[Abigail-II] has put together a sensible coding standard/[id://215675|guideline] for Perl, the first one I've seen that seems to cover the scope of the language (from micro-tool to major production system).
<li>[diotalevi] and [BrowserUK] discuss the [218056|relative merits] of <code>qr{}</code> and <code>m//o</code>.
<li>[mstone] has begun a series of [218729|tutorial] nodes on programming theory.</ul>
<hr />
<h2>Vanity, all is vanity</h2>
<p>Some of the more fun nodes that I've written are:
<ul>
<li>[Perl Mambo]
<li>[Missing paralinguistics considered harmful]
</ul>
<p>See my XP chart [http://tinymicros.com/pm/index.php?goto=PlotChartImage_VH&nodeid=194378|here].
