in thread what are all the things to be considered to write a effective perl script or module?

As the old saying goes "first make it run, then make it right, then make it fast"

I would prefer some sort of design first, preferably gathering requirements before that. Design of test cases to check that the specs are met. Specs that can be traced back to the requirements. Then write the code and test it, test it and test it. If the code does what it is supposed to do only then it is effective.
