in reply to OT: Documentation Rations

Every piece of Perl documentation I ever wanted was found in the manual pages that come with the standard distribution. Now, you don't see what code we have to write, and that would be pretty essential. If I were to make code that runs a yak-butter factory, I'd look pretty stupid bringing a case of books about mining on the outer planets.

My answers, in random order, (all are in dead tree format):

The rest of the book case, I'll fill after getting the assignment.

    No assignment whatsoever. This is just for fun :). The only requirements I suggest (feel free to break them) is that it has to do with computer programming. Obviously there is a fair amount of grey area (math, sciences, data formats), feel free to suggest whatever comes to mind. Say you had a month (or a year) to write whatever type of code you wanted. What would it be and what kinds of documentation would you need?
