No, I'm remarkably similar to you in that I'll use it where appropriate
but don't much like doing it[1]. "Appropriate" in my case almost invariably
boils down to "there's something already in CPAN that does 90% of the work".
Although even then, getting CPAN to throw away its assumptions that it's on
an Internet facing machine is problematic for actually deploying it onto
a production machine (to be fair, it's been a few years since I've done so,
so maybe it's improved).

Tet

[1] Mostly. Where I have to work with someone else's perl, rather than
    my own, *then* I'd rather pull out my fingernails :-) To quote Chris
    Wareham: I have scratched Perl from my CV because there is fuck all
    job satisfaction in fixing endless streams of Perl gibberish produced
    by talentless muppets.
