How about extending something instead of starting from nothing? Installing / using / extending Domm's App::Timetracker ( https://metacpan.org/release/App-TimeTracker) might make an interesting article. He gave a talk about it at YAPC::EU http://yapceurope.lv/ye2011/talk/3391(slides: http://domm.plix.at/talks/2011_riga_app_timetracker/) Source could do with a few more comments for my personal tast, anyway - just an idea :) Leo
