I know what you mean and feel the same way of late! I have been doing a lot of sysadministration using Perl along with the job that I was hired to do, but I find myself dreading opening the previous days code. I find myself looking at the code that I just wrote and saying to myself, "God not again!" Oh well I figure writers have a block that happens to them every now and again, so it seems logical that we also can have the same problem. Maybe I will take a small vacation????
