Good questions...

We're talking about ~8,000 lines of code
The language, although not Perl, is in active development, and we plan to continue developing in such (even though I am currently the only programmer at my company)
I would consider myself of an intermediate skill level in the language, I am fluent in the available built-ins and can translate most algorithms that I find in other languages (and in general algorithmic notation) to the language at hand.
The code belongs to my company, is not Open Source, and they are fairly resistant to change (as far as a change in language is concerned), but I have a fairly free reign over implementation as long as all design requirements are met.
Everything is pretty stable in this regard.
The code is intended for computer based training apps, so bugs are annoying (although as everyone, I'd prefer if there were none), but will not cause loss of life or property.
The code as I got it is good beta code, although there were minor bugs. The main thing is the additional functionality that I am required to make, changes in existing functionality, as well as fixing existing bugs when found by our testers.
It is a stand-alone app.
There is little documentation besides the comments in the code itself (which reside in a range from good in parts to unhelpful/nonexistant.

Thanks

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.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
