There are few things, which I really miss, while using Perl over the years. I see it at perlmonks and around the web for various things, yet I become hesitant to learn something new and continue my practices. There could be many reasons, no-need-to-change mentality, other responsibility, adding little to existing code and making workable solutions etc..
I feel that, there are few things which I really miss, that would have made me a better programmer. I guess that new things always come to the market and in the back of my mind, I will continue to have these feelings. Updating myself on contineous base could be a nice project, but than current requirement and needs always take priority over learning "new and/or proven, but might be very useful" technologies.
Do you feel same way? What is the next action?

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.
