First my usage:
Single user machines, home lan and basic networking.
My specific perl usage is as often just something I want to do as it
is some system oriented scripting.

I've been a perl user for several yrs, but never really stay
programming steadily or even semi-steadily for very long at a time. A
month would be a long time historically for me. And would likely be
followed by many months or even a year or more of no perl activity.
Consequently, all the cool little tricks one kind of stumbles on or
more importantly, the piles of things learned on this list over years
of following and using it seem to evaporate between engagements.
I find myself having to ask about things I know I've learned before.
And even things I've made notes about... I often find I've forgotten
enough that my notes don't make any sense to me any more.
OK, OK, so maybe I'm a little dimmer or down right thick skulled
compared to most. Or even suffering from early onset senility... (I am
70 next March after all.. and it would be a nice face saving
excuse...).
BUT: is there some remedy in the way of keeping brushed up by weekly
perl work or the like?
I mean an organized sort of structured kind of setup where you are
expected to program something to a spec determined by someone
knowledgeable.
Err... I guess I'm describing a perl class, but in my case it would
have been the longest running `class' in recorded history... by now
some 15 to 20 yrs.
Somewhat embarrassing to admit the time frame and then have to see and
know the miserably low skill level I've never broken out of or even
maintained.
So all and any ideas, suggestions etc would be well received on this end.
I would suggest to create a github or similar service account and put
some important code snippets there.
Document them, especially tricky parts.

Alex
