Me too :-P
Take Text::FIGlet, it sat for s/o like 14 months before
I did a marathon run (long weekend)in February, and then sat until August where
I did another marathon (essentially a full work-week); which has
not left it in a distributable state :-/.
The first was spurred by guilt of neglect,
the second because the module was on my mind. Uri, a fellow
Boston perlmonger, has coopted Dominus' lightning talk idea,
and I gave the first one at the August meeting. Simply reviewing
the code to
- find something interesting to talk about
- understand how the interesting thing works,
and the best way to explain it
was very labor intensive, but exciting. And got me thinking
of many other things to do with it, as did several questions
and comments arising from my talk.
Incidentally, I think this is related to one of the reasons
I have settled on something other than being a professional
programmer (at least, not without something else attached);
not receiving any end-user feedback.
