I actually thought that your post was something different, based on the title. I was about to reply "yes, I wrote my blog software in Perl!"

But I have been known to write articles on other topics before, so might be willing to contribute I get a better idea what is on/off topic.

How about "How I got totally ${expletive}d off with WordPress and ended up writing my own blog software in Perl"? Then I could use the original answer I thought I had for your post ;-)

And I fully understand the over-committing thing; been there, done it, never found the time to wear the tee-shirt ;-)
