If I'm just trying to "Find something to do" or "Spark an Interest", generally I start with the CPAN Module List . There is a whole list of "ideas" which in the terms of modules are rather general in nature.

Just start playing the game of "How can I use this module on a web page" and go from there. For instance, there is a new module listed on monks today called translate which is a perl interface to the babel fish site. Have a CGI program translate your web pages into various languages.

Don't ever stop having fun, that's the key.
