Well, you attitude is both better and smarter than mine. :-(
I have a couple of large 80% done libraries I wrote to publish as open source -- which I am going to rewrite heavily before I'm letting anyone see.
(Answer to next question: Yes, a couple -- instead of finishing one and starting a second. There are reasons in addition to me being stupid. :-) )
At least I learned a lot.
Edit: About the article -- it is hard to create a good API, I've designed lots of APIs in my days -- and I don't think I've done a single good one. :-(

Ye, when I am preparing a CPAN dist I usually clean up everything. I think it helps to create a more usable and independent distribution. And everybody wins.
