Hello,

I like the lazy part, but I also like order and backups. For this reason I have a generic file (newscript.pl) with the following default code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

#######################
# set Modules to Use;
#######################
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI qw(:standard);

#######################
# Establish variables, arrays, ect.
#######################

# do some stuff here


#######################
# Begin main body
#######################

#do more stuff here



#######################
# Functions & Subroutines
#######################

#do the detailed work here

[download]

This file is stored on my thumbdrive and I use Notepad++ for all my editing. I do not use VI unless I have to. I edit the files locally on my laptop/pc and SCP/SFTP the files as they are edited. This allows me to get the "pretty colors" in the editor helping me know what is a variable, operator, modules, etc. but also ensures that I have a backup copy of all my data should there be a server failure with no data recovery available (it has happened). I do try and keep a simular if not the exact directory structure on the thumbdrive to help in restoring the files if need be.

Just my $0.02....Thanks for your time.
