I'm not sure that this belongs here or in Meditations, but here goes:
I have been programming Perl for about 2 months now, and have found it to be a blast! I use Perl primarily at work. My dilemma is that now, I have found myself having way more interest-level than work-related programming ( I am a network engineer, not a "programmer"). Naturally, I am excited to continue learning Perl, but, at the same time, I am having a hard time generating an idea(s) for a project. I really want to create something useful for others, not just something that I alone would use. Doesn't need to be anything grandiose, just something more than a throw away script. Can anyone else share where their direction comes from?

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.
