There's really nothing I can think of that hasn't been done (including open-source) - especially that's commonplace - so I have no suggestions. But I'll be willing to help. I'd probably come in most handy in converting codes from other languages to Perl.

Probably something that interacts with websites automatically would be an easy suggestion.
The idea isn't something that's already commonplace, but to do something that will become commonplace. Eg. Notepad++ became commonplace, but that sort of thing has been done. Redoing an existing idea would be pointless.

Also, I haven't used Perl in months, and I didn't know it well when I was using it. I don't even remember the syntax at the moment. My intention with this is to learn Perl the way I intended to in the first place, provide a new tool to a lot of people, and get an idea of that kind of environment to fuel more ideas.
