I also coded for more than 3 years and eventually I got that I was not
coding but writting poems in perl... Even after 3 months, I go back
and check my hand written code, I had to think twice about the logic
used...
Now its pretty much systematic which incode dcoumentation and
programming structure.

Rest both are blessed by open source...

Regards,
Garry
