Plan before you code.
perl -w
use strict;
Think in perl!!
forget any other programming skills you may have...

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

indent -kr filename.pl
