The existance of all these wonderful modules of code, which make life so easy in perl seem to be stifling innovation and the acceptance of new ideas.
Really? How so? Is known Mathematics blocking the development of new mathematical ideas in any way?
Without new ideas there is only stagnation.
Indeed. Show us your new idea and convince people that it is a good one. Great ideas tend to convince people also if they have humble origins. BTW:
I'm sorry if that offends anyones sensibilites, but seriously, software never has and never will stand still. If you try to, you will soon become obsolete.
Not offended in any way. Just surprised, nearly shocked. I perfectly agree with these claim of yours. But I don't see how they could possibly relate to the availability of good modules from CPAN. In any way. (I would say, to some extent, that things are just the opposite: availability of pre-existing good code stimulates writing even better one.)

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
