Thanks to all for the thoughts / suggestions.

jbrugger - I use grep at times for searching for a previously written function. But I find in too many cases it returns far more than I'm looking for. For instance, if I'm looking for a script where I used 'format', then 'grep -rli format ~/perl' returns lots of false positives. Mainly from comments or whatever.

crusty_collins - Nice little todo list (ackerTodo). I like that. But doesn't that add an item to my todo list? Keeping my todo list updated? Hahaha.

monarch - I had thought about CVS at one time. I decided against it only because it appeared far more complex than I needed then (and perhaps now).

kaif - Yes, acromyms could get confusing in a big hurry.

TedPride - I comment most of my scripts heavily for my own benefit. Part of the learning curve. If I find a technique or something that is helpful to solving the problem at hand, I even include a link to the solution in the comments at the top of the script. I really like the idea of the spider. If I were to dream up some unique keywords to describe each script or function in it, that would be pretty cool.

Intrepid - My scripts are not all for one sort of task either. They are for a variety of things. Maybe I should investigate CVS again.
