in reply to How has your coding style changed over the years?

The biggest change for me, coming from a COBOL background in the 70's and 80's, is to declare variables where they are used instead of declaring all variables near the top, as COBOL requires. My early Perl programs in the 90's have all variables declared near the top, which can be problematic, especially when tracking down "errors at a distance".
