Hi,
one fun thing I did with Perl was a simple 3-D vector
graphics engine. I have it packaged up somewhere if
anyone wants it (you probably don't, even if you
think you do). I wrote it to teach myself how to do
OO in Perl, and was mildly successful.
I have (edit: had. No longer hosted there) a demo on my site at
http://fulcrum.org/cgi-bin/shape_shifter.pl
and
