The main reason that I contribute my code is because I find what I have done
useful and hope others will too.

Other reasons include:
* I want easy access to my code (start a new job, realise I need some module
that I have written in the past, no problems just cpan it)
* Having code you create on CPAN before you start a job which requires you
to sign a contract saying the company everything you create while there
reduces the changes that they may try to take ownership of pre-existing
code.
* Testing - cpan testers provide a wonderful resource for other system that
I don't normally have access to.
* I feel that I should contribute something back for all that I use on a
daily basis.
