Decide upon a product and create your own development
project. Look around of what already
exists. Decide to do something that noone has done
(well) so far. Then start your own development.
I have to disagree.
If there's a project you want to do, and you want to start
from scratch -- then by all means, that's your perogotive.
But in the case of this poster the goal is to learn more perl,
and to become more marketable with perl skills.
There are already lots of perl projects out there that you can
contribute to. Working on an existing project can have
all of the benefits Biker described
(something that intrests you, something you can point
at when
you sell yourself, something you can be proud of) and
it has the added benefits of letting you see other
peoples code, and helping you learn how to work
colabratively with other people on software (things
most people don't learn working on small scripts, which
are frequently more marketable then just knowing a lot about
perl)

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.
