How about extending something instead of starting from nothing?

Installing / using / extending Domm's App::Timetracker (
https://metacpan.org/release/App-TimeTracker) might make an interesting
article.

He gave a talk about it at YAPC::EU

http://domm.plix.at/talks/2011_riga_app_timetracker/)

Source could do with a few more comments for my personal tast, anyway - just
