Refactoring a large scriptby mdunnbass (Monk) |

mdunnbass has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Greetings Monks,
Hypothetically speaking, of course, if a lowly perl user had written a large and unwieldy program that was more than likely far clunkier than it needed to be, where could I, err, I mean he, go to ask for help in refactoring/improving/tightening/increasing the speed and efficiency of the program? Is that just a matter of asking for help from willing monks, or is there instead a forum/online work-group willing to help out with that? I've got a program I've been writing that's about 35 subroutines, maybe 1k lines of code, with another 1k of comments, and at this point, I'm finished debugging all but about 5 of the subs. There are areas of the program where I am sure I did things the hard way, or at least, not the quick or efficient way. I'm self-taught in perl, with only what I've learned here and in the perldocs, and I don't do any programming outside of this one script, so I've never ventured into the realms of mapping, transposing, TIEs, or anything more than intro-level stuff. Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
