use CGI or die; - Don't try and reinvent the CGI module - it works, and it's been well tested.
You should avoid attempting to roll your own module - it's unlikely to be any better, and if it is, then you've spent too much time on it :-)

Think beyond Taint and warnings - Although taint mode, warnings and so forth should not be overlooked - make sure the rest of the code is written in a sensible/secure manner.

Don't use a script if you don't know what it's doing - Probably more for newbie Perl users who think that Matt's Perl scripts are good.
Spend time reading through a script if you didn't write it yourself and don't know the quality of the author's other work.

I think that's about all I can think of for the moment.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
