Or not -- part of the semi-retired gig is, y'know, not doing techie stuff as much any more. :)

In my book, retiring means choosing what you want to do based on whether it is fun or not...not depending on whether you once called it $work.

People seem to come to The Monastery and stay in The Monastery for three reasons which do overlap a bit...

  1. They need help with something Perl related
  2. They want to help with something Perl related
  3. They enjoy the community
From reading your posts talexb, 1 doesn't seem to apply so you must enjoy the world of Perl. So, why would retirement take you completely away from it?
