Welcome perlidiot123,

Try using <ul><i> and </i></ul> around comments from a previous post like this:

If you can do that, at least you convert the system to be strict-safe one component at a time.

yes, this... I think I've got it. ( your comment )

IMHO, It helps the readers understand your responses.

About your real question, I think its a slow process of fixing existing scripts one at a time.

About 8 years ago I had the same situation. I starting using strictures, but only if I needed to update an existing process. Many of the old are running in production without re-write, but if I add something new or need to update a process, you can be sure I use strictures plus better Perl techniques.

Every time you look at older code, you can see a better way. Good Luck!
