I read somewhere recently that the "average programmer" produces about 10 lines of "working debugged code" per day. That dosn't count cut'n'pasted code, nor documentation, but 10 lines of new "working and bugfree" code. And it's an average...so your "days of inspired genius" are averaged out over the years (weekend included). Jees, maybe thats why they are outsourcing to India? :-)

Now since they didn't spell Perl right, we may assume that they meant 7.5k of text, not lines. This would fit into the "10 lines per day" figure, if you add in docs, nicely perltidied code, and judicious use of whitespace.
