Yes, exactly that. I usually start with this: #!/usr/bin/perl 
use v5.12;
use warnings;

As do I, but for a few years now, I've left out the shebang line and use a call to perl instead. Whether I'm using an IDE (intelliJ IDEA with Vim plugin) or just Vim, I have a macro in my .vimrc that inserts it for me:

iab _perl use warnings;<CR>use strict;<CR>

Any time I'm writing a Perl file, I just go into Insert Mode, and type _perl, and it injects:

use warnings;
use strict;

...of course, I have a couple of others, but that's the one I use most often.

As far as usefulness of the OPs project, I'd have to see it, but I doubt I'd be inclined to use it to be honest, for reasons yourself (afoken) and Your Mother have stated.

...and LOL at "the snake lovers"... I code in Python because I'm FORCED to, damnit! ;)
