I've got no time to code Perl (or anything else)

I need a less demanding job.

One that pays what I'm getting paid, but lets me work less.

Yeah, right.

Funny, but twenty years ago, before I had a house and a family, I still didn't feel like coding once I got home from work. I suspect the reason for this is that the job sucks all the code out of me during the day, leaving my brain tired and ready for downtime.

I wish it weren't so.

The only solution is to work smarter, both at work and at home. To develop programming tools which will build a foundation upon which I can do what I want. Tools that can be written modularly, a little bit at a time. Bottom-up programming.
