in thread My Perl code can be understood by...

I guess a factor in determining intended complexity may be the intended audience. For me, that audience is the non-Perl programmers who will inherit the code when my contract is over. Even though most of what I write is only for my use (that's how I sell it), I leave the code behind when I leave the contract, but with the hopes that someone else will look at it and try to use it. I want to make that use as easy as possible for them. If I were writing a module for CPAN with the intended audience being other Perl developers, the intended complexity level could safely jump way up.
