It is still not 100% clear what you are asking, but I will take a shot
at restating your question. Tell us if this is not what you are
asking:
I have been a Perl programmer for 7 years and reached the point where just
writing what other people have specified is no longer rewarding. I want
to be the one who designs the systems that others (or myself) write.
If that is in fact what you are asking, then you should get a CS
degree if you don't have one or refresh your knowledge of algorithms
and data structures if you do. The book [Mastering Algorithms with
Perl][1] may be helpful in this regard.
You should read books like [How to Design Programs][2], [Design
Patterns][3], and [Antipatterns][4]. It is important to remember that
design is largely language agnostic, so do not limit yourself to Perl
resources.
You should find other programs that are in the same class as the ones
you want to design, and then study how they fit together.

The most important skill a programmer can have is the ability to read.
