So, wise and creative monks, what part(s) of your home or office would you hope to be written in Perl, and what would you do with them.
My web browser. I want it to be smart enough that it can go to perlmonks all by itself, and answer the questions. As a step towards that goal, I envision a browser that goes to perlmonks all by itself and ask questions.

In 30 years from now, no human will visit webforums anymore. It'll all be automated.

A second thing I really want is a programmable backscratcher. Not in perl, but in a free flow language: 

A little higher!
Faster!
Yeah, that's right.
Now down below!

(In this language, lines not ending in an exclaimation mark are comments)

Third, I want a programmable bathtub. Its language only has two functions: empty, with no arguments, and full with an optional arguments, the temperature of the water.

And then there are the programmable cheese knife, the programmable house plants, and the programmable sex slave spouse.
