1) You should have started with both warnings and use strict.

2) If you choose to ignore this advice and then have some unisolated bug see step 1.

3) If at this point your about to say "But..." then please see step 1 and 2.

4) Now if your bug still can't be tracked down, you probably ignored steps 1 through 3. At this point you might as well and ask for help.

While this may sound rude it's to point out that use strict and warnings will remove almost all common programming mistakes. Without them it's pretty much like trying to figure out whats wrong with the patient without evening looking at them. You'll hear this advice from almost all perl programmers... because we all learned it the hard way.
