in reply to Ideas For Modules

"Is there a place that is a sort of pre-CPAN, that is one where developers go to help work on modules or sift through ideas for modules.

Right here ;-)

First of all, I would question anyone that says "become famous and I will hire you." It doesn't sound like the greatest recruiting strategy to me.

Secondly, I don't think that searching blindly for module ideas will benefit you that much. A much better approach would be to learn the basics of the language and start working on projects that you would find useful. Combine that with carefully listening to common tasks/problems other people have and I'm sure you'll come up with plenty of good ideas.

Best of luck :)
