Stuff with the Perl Foundation. A couple of patches in the Perl core. A few CPAN modules. That about sums it up.

I hate it when I make silly mistakes like this:

my $pivot_date = DateTime->new( year => 2006, month => 08, day => 01, );

I should know better than that. I was staring at the MySQL datetime format too much :)

Update: In retrospect, I should have entitled this post "Zero errors!"

Coincidentally, I made that exact error in ruby yesterday. Fortunately, '8' is not a valid octal digit so vim's syntax highlighting alerted me to a problem before I even tried to run it.

vim i_ctrl-a will only interpret a leading-zero number as octal if there are only octal digits in it. That is why I only write code in the Vim scripting language. No bugs possible!
