I've been bitten by the excessive generality bug a few times as well. It's the easiest way to never finish a project. I've done in a few projects this way myself--on the good side, I learned a lot while doing it.

My app is currently weighing in at around 3000 lines of code (including whitespace and comments, but not counting the libraries I wrote for backend stuff). It's just too damn big to navigate around easily. Amazingly, it is maintainable, I was able to get in and make some changes after 8 months away from working on it without too much pain. Let's hear it for good documentation practices.

Any thoughts on the namespace issue? I'm planning on keeping the libraries in the same directory with the script, so top level names are OK. I'm leaning towards MyApp::PhoneList and MyApp::DisplayData and so forth.

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.
