Me too :-P

Take Text::FIGlet, it sat for s/o like 14 months before I did a marathon run (long weekend)in February, and then sat until August where I did another marathon (essentially a full work-week); which has not left it in a distributable state :-/. The first was spurred by guilt of neglect, the second because the module was on my mind. Uri, a fellow Boston perlmonger, has coopted Dominus' lightning talk idea, and I gave the first one at the August meeting. Simply reviewing the code to

find something interesting to talk about
understand how the interesting thing works, and the best way to explain it

was very labor intensive, but exciting. And got me thinking of many other things to do with it, as did several questions and comments arising from my talk.

Incidentally, I think this is related to one of the reasons I have settled on something other than being a professional programmer (at least, not without something else attached); not receiving any end-user feedback.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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.
