If in fact you are not in burn-out mode™ (and should therefore not be doing anything) there are some things you can think about that might get you started:
- What was the last thing you did with a computer that annoyed you? Fix it!
- What was the last thing someone else did with a computer that annoyed them (or your)? Fix it!
- Are there two (or more) disparate pieces of software that do not play well together? Write glue!
- There can never be too many small languages. Write another one!
- Learn Parrot. Note: if you do this on a Win2k box, let me know, configure dies on me...
- Dust off your copy of Knuth. Pick a starred exercise and solve it in Perl.
In pseudo-code, you might think of this as:
while(problems exist) solve;
Now I suppose it is possible that you exist in a problem-free space. If that's the case then you don't need more code, you need more meditation!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
