This is a most excellent idea! Kudos jcwren.

I write Perl scripts for fun (and, as a sys admin, the occasional work reduction) but have been hindered by the fact that I've not had any real training in programming as well as a general lack of insight on how to approach problems programmatically so I feel that many of my grandiose ideas are well beyond my abilities. This project would help immensely by providing a step-by-step inside view of programming practices as well as project/progamming management.

This would be just the thing to help those of us out here who don't have the skills (yet) but do have a strong desire to create, an interest in progamming, and a love of Perl.

I too would love the opportunity to contribute to, as well as learn from, this project idea.
