It might behoove you to take the time to set up a skeleton Perl script and configure whatever editor you use to use that when you create a new Perl program (and if your editor doesn't support doing that, get a better editor). 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use Data::Dumper qw( Dump )
## Or . . .
#use YAML::Syck qw( Load Dump );

###
### CODE GOES IN HERE
###

exit 0;

__END__

Many editors will make it possible that your cursor winds up with the "CODE GOES IN HERE" portion selected (so that it's replaced when you start typing or paste), or just after it.
