This thing has 3500 lines, as you can see by the size.

It took me around 5 minutes to correct all the 'Global symbol' errors, none of which I see as critical, in fact in a GUI app I'd expect the actual GUI itself to be globally accessible. (Which is why I just threw a 'my $Mapper;' in at the top to solve those. I found one, single, misspelled variable name, which didnt surprise me in the least.. (never said I was perfect, or that the thing runs (ran) perfectly.) (Result available, should you want to see it.) BTW: Anything older than that (another year), would be unfair, I've only been using perl that long..

That this now says my code is perfect, is laughable. Unless you just mean the conformity is, it most probably still doesn't work as intended, which would be my definition of perfect.

Yes, I make typos, and I fix them, doesn't everybody? Yes I've also spent hours sometimes looking for stupid ones, that would have probably been shown using strict. I never said it didn't *work*..

As to your rant, probably/possibly. But I haven't yet, so I guess I got lucky. At least, I have some that uses lots of globals in several files, luckily more or less sensibly named. Anyway, I was talking about my preferences for my code, not other peoples. :)
