Just because you start your little project at home doesn't mean that somebody else can't do the same, so just start it, and if you finish it sucessfully, you can release it and make the world a better place. If not, you've gained some practice/experience and you've not harmed anyone in the process (unless you hit someone with your keyboard along the way).

If you don't know how/where to start, here's a little something to help you create your own CPAN module :-)
