Of the things I documented long ago, I think the discovery of Data::Dumper has been the most important.

    Data::Dumper is certainly one of the best perl module - the best friend to perl geeks.

    Data::Dumper and of course strict/warnings at the beginning of your code, those where the 3 main things that have helped me a lot with pretty much all perl code I have written since.

    Recently I have learned to love re 'debug' which can be a great help when trying to work out a complex occasionally "failing" regular expression.
