We can all get bogged down in the way "we" do things, or the way our project or team uses modules, objects etc.<p>
Perl is so rich that very few of us appreciate all the productive uses of all of Perl's features, especially outside the problem domains in which we are comfortable.<p>
With the demise of The Perl Journal (long live The Perl Journal!) and the way that other mags are stuffed with Java, Python and even Ruby (which I admit to quite liking) it's not obvious how to stay fresh.<p>
Obviously reading and occasionally wading into PerlMonk discussions is one useful tool to keep one's mind open.<p>
Another I do from time to time is to run through some random quesions in snowdrift.org's <a href="http://www.snowdrift.org/computers/perl/pt/index.ep">Perl Test</a>.<p>
What do other people do to hone their Perl skills and their knowledge of useful CPAN modules?<p>
