Ask HN: What are some small scripts you use daily?

I have a small perl script I wrote called helpme

by default it shows a list of topics. Then if you run it with the topic, it displays the details about the topic. I use it to remember how to do less frequent stuff at my day job.

I was using a blog for this, but I hate maintaining a blog.

I'm going to use this instead!

Its super simple 11 lines of code then lines for the topics and description.

I have a topics hash/dictionary.

If the helpme command is run without a topic argument, it prints out all the topic keys to the dictionary one per line.

If it is run with a topic argument, it just prints out the value for that topic.
