Consider contributing to the Perl QA / CPAN Kwalitee efforts.

The Phalanx effort is a good example. Following their suggestions, pick a module from the list of 100 target CPAN modules, study it, and look for ways to improve its documentation or tests.

Many modules don't have sufficient testing, and so you can just review the documentation, and write new tests that confirm that the module does what the documentation says it will. Writing tests can serve as a good exercise to ensure you've understood the piece of code you're working on.

Plus, you'll be working on a genuinely helpful community effort.
