revidablo's comment:

Despite this low coding rate, I read about Perl almost every day. I constantly look at code, and think about code.

...describes my current relationship with perl. I read perl books frenquently, and have found the Perl CD Bookshelf to be a great research and reference tool. But most of my time is actually spent reading and trying to understand the code of others. The Monastery has been a wonderful place to keep up with the wonders of perl and be a part of an active perl community.

On rare occasions, I have a need/opportunity to write code (or scripts) for my company. It is not my primary duty. When these opportunities arise, I immediately look to perl for a solution. I haven't had to look elsewhere yet!

After recently purchasing TheDamian's book: Object Oriented Perl, I began thinking more in terms of Object Oriented Perl. I find this new (to me) and challenging area to be fun and facinating. I am still not coding very much, however. Mostly thinking and reading...

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
