Hi Jon,
Hope you're well.
I'm not a professional Perl developer by trade (just professionally-frustrated by Perl on a regular basis is all), so this might seem like a fatuous proposition to everyone else, but what would be immensely helpful for me is to see the process of creating a CPAN module in the first place.
I mean all the MakeMaker and the Dist::Zilla and the Makefile.PL stuff that always seemed like eldritch magical incantations to me.
I want to love Perl, and CPAN, but I think I don't "get" it, and watching someone proficient in the language and the surrounding toolchain would probably do a lot to ameliorate that situation.

I'm looking for ideas for an activity to do together to see if this
idea is viable. Ideally it is something we can do as a group in about
an hour. Some starter ideas: work on a CPAN module together to come up
with some fixes for it; create a quick web app; play a group game. If
you have an idea for a specific module, game or app, please share. If
you have another idea, I'd love to hear it.
