Eventually, one must choose, and specialize in those areas we wish to master. Eventually, we learn to trust the skills of those around us; to rely on the works of others to take care of the nitty-gritty details of those areas in which we are perhaps not so skilled. Yes, and if you do not choose for yourself, your projects will choose your specializations for you. If you are not very careful, you may find yourself specializing in things you really don't enjoy or care about. Some solutions, I think are:
The Perl community is really quite fortunate to have such a broad range of talent willing to help others learn. Between the O'Reilly books, CPAN, and sites like the Monastery, it's very easy to find new and better ways of doing things. I've only seen that type of teamwork in a few other communities and none of had the breadth of support that the Perl community does. If this is important to you, then I suggest you use it as much as you can. --f
