And if not refactor, at least switch to using pseudo-named arguments by expecting key/value pairs and appending those to defaults. 

sub womble {
  my @defaults = (
    fleem       => 12.3,
    alarm_low   => 99,
    alarm_hi    => 'naked ernest borgnine',
    alarm_hello => 'nice to see you',
    alarm_good_evening => STOP_STEALING_PYTHON_GAGS,
    quux        => 19.95,
  );

  my %args = ( @defaults, @_ );

  if( $args{ quux } > 15 ) { enable_flux_capacitor(); }

  ## ... rest of womblification routine
}

womble( quux => 1.21 * GIGAWATS_PER_MICROFLEEM,
        alarm_low => 42, );
