Greetings, fellow monks.

I've been writing Perl for about 5 years now(which is sort of scary when I look back on it). I know how to use all of the generic programming tools like conditionals, loops, and variables - and I know how to use a few of the Perl-specific tools - like $_, dispatch tables, map and grep, and CPAN modules.

However, lately I feel like I've plateaued. I use references, complex data structures, and map and grep all the time - and I can't clearly see what I should be learning about now. Does anyone have any recommendations on what Perl has that I should learn, that will improve my code and help expand my skills? I primarily use Perl for general systems administration and web stuff/CGI.

Thanks,

Spidy

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.
