I have a desk that's small and for sitting. I want a workbench that's bigger and sits about 40 inches high to use as a standing desk. I can work on getting my webcam, worklight and monitor to eye level as the next step.

I think that roughly 3x5 feet is a decent amount of bench/desk space. I will use the area under for storage. This will be at home and I don't care too much about it not looking like a home carpentry project. 

I don't have too much to throw at this project, and unless there are people I know who have wood shops in their garage, I barely have access to tools. 

What are my options? Because, ATM, I can't think of any.

We use Globus to allow our clients to share their data to researchers outside of campus.

The share role_id used to be a five digit integer. Now it's a UUID.

I think I've hit the first point where I wished I had used DBIx::Class.

Notes on a Refactor
I prefer to let sleeping dogs lie. There's old, bad code that could be improved, but there's no case to be rewriting old code unless there's a problem with it that breaks a thing. Call it Bug-Driven Development, if you will. But every bug will have it's day...
