This is driving me insane.  About three years ago I wrote a perl script to manage my music collection.  Then, after updating Mandrake (as it was back then) it broke.  Try as I might to fix the perl installation, grabbing all the modules that made it work, still resulted in a non functioning script.

It’s beginning to piss me off now.  I’m even tempted to port the whole thing to another language in order to get it working again.  Or changing the distro of the box it used to run on.  Neither of which have any guarantee of success.

What’s more annoying than not having access to the dirty little hack I put together, is not having the skills to get it working again. Cue much wailing and gnashing of teeth…
