As with anything that consists of so many nuances it takes effort to move out of a comfort zone. That may be, as suggested, by wading into discussion forums, reading new CPAN modules, or merely debugging code.
I find discussion with team members, and members outside my direct team, can provide valuable insight to the way I do things; code reviews are excellent for this, as one cannot learn without the humility of being subject to criticism.
Just this week I've learnt some excellent techniques for greatly speeding up raw text processing and this has been through listening to others; and to them I give the credit of the speed increases..

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).
