That's a good one. But other than the list, I would think that communities like this one would be good places to float suggestions for new modules.

The traditional way to find an unmet need is to have a continually annoying problem yourself. I've trained myself, over the years, to go looking for solutions to such problems on the net, before attempting to write my own code. If I don't find a solution, then I generally try to adapt one that is more or less near to addressing my problem. If I can't find anything even close, then I sit down and have a good cry. But I also realize that there's an opportunity at hand to bring succor and enlightenment to a troubled world, and maybe get someone to help write my solution.

Usually by then the problem has gone away. But if it hasn't, then I try to fix it myself. That usually results in some Perl code. If that isn't too embarrassing to see the light of day, I sometimes publish it. (That is, of course, a link to my most successful Open Source project. Um, well, my only successful Open Source project. The point is still valid. Really. Trust me.)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
