Re: Good CPAN project to give my kid some insight into development process?

You don't have to put everything in the CPAN. Plenty of open source software projects in Perl are not on CPAN. Just host it on Github in a public repo. CPAN is not for hosting vanity or personal projects.

Also, it's good practice to discuss your ideas for a module on the Prepan before publishing them to the CPAN, and on other more focused media as appropriate, eg in #dancer if you are considering a Dancer plugin. You might get valuable feedback or code review.

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

Good point. Yeah, I guess CPAN is kind of my own Holy Grail. Publishing to GitHub is good enough. Not sure a 14 year old would get excited about CPAN, anyway. And never heard of Prepan. Will check it out. Thanks! $PM = "Perl Monk's"; $MCF = "Most Clueless ~~Friar~~ ~~Abbot~~ ~~Bishop~~ ~~Pontiff~~ ~~Deacon~~ ~~Curate~~ Priest"; $nysus = $PM .
