*inciting suspension* I have something nice in store which can improve logging 
quite a bit and make debugging a lot easier. But it's currently only works-
for-me grade and I want to improve my showcase a bit before releasing it. 
Hint: It involves Log::Log4Perl (and doesn't work with shell scripts).

Feel free to request stuff / explain your ideas. Maybe they're just stupid but 
maybe they're insightful? Who knows? =)

Being a newbie is exactly the right time to start getting involved in 
documentation. *hint hint* It's helpful if a novice tries to write down all 
the things he/she/it doesn't understand. Maybe they just need some 
explaination, maybe they're already explained, but the information is not 
accessible, maybe the way things are done is simply stupid, but the involved 
are so used to doing it that way that they don't recognize it anymore....
