Right ++! The template that I use for starting all my perl source files is something like this, which is pretty much what you see in most CPAN modules:

#!/usr/bin/perl

=head1 NAME

=head1 SYNOPSIS

=head1 DESCRIPTION

=cut

use strict;
[download]

I normally fill in the POD sections before I write any actual code. (This helps me establish and maintain focus, which tends to make the code easier and quicker to write.)
