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?
