You could use the extra hour to exercise. Go to the gym, or go for a bike ride, if your office has a shower. Exercise is almost as important as sleep for health and creativity. Lunch is included in normal 9-5 hours.

I've had good experience with DNSMadeEasy.com. We actually kept DNS/bind configs in version control and used XFR to let DNSMadeEasy slurp them up.

No, I also thought that the first example was the most clear, assuming you know how a hash table is typically used in Perl. One of the reasons I like Perl is you can frequently solve problems with the built in data structures, you don't have to get your head around someone's attempt to model out every bit with an object.
