Believe me, the overhead of using a version control system is negligible compared to the overhead of not using it.

    I'm sure you are right, but the overhead of first learning how to use it is not negligible! :)

    Seriously I certainly see the point in using one once more than one person works on the code, but right now it's only me.

    Again if anyone wants to collaborate, just let me know and I'll start learning how to use git and github.

      I would second choroba's suggestion to use a revision control system of some sort (git, svn). It allows you to 'erase' mistakes or back track to a point where your code was working. It is also nice to be able to take multiple divergent paths when testing out if something will work, and to be able to select the parts that work best.

      As well as code colaboration, a project Wiki and issue tracking git is also very handy for people wanting to download your works:

      git clone https://github.com/chromatic/modern_perl_book.git
