in reply to A guide to coding Perl
- Plan before you code.
- perl -w
- use strict;
- Think in perl!! forget any other programming skills you may have...
- Write small subroutines that do simple things.
- Use CPAN modules.
- Organize your file/files logically...
- Separate generic stuff into modules (for reuse later, if modules are good/generic enough consider sharing).
- indent works with perl!!!! i frequently use
indent -kr filename.pl
