-Always use B<-w>.
+Try to C<use warnings;> (or C<use warnings qw(...);>).
+Remember that you can add C<no warnings qw(...);> to individual blocks

Use blessed references. Use the two argument form of bless to bless
into the class name given as the first parameter of the constructor,
Let the objects look after themselves! Generally, avoid hard-wired
class names as far as possible.
-Avoid C<$r-E<gt>Class::func()> where using C<@ISA=qw(... Class ...)> and
-C<$r-E<gt>func()> would work (see L<perlbot> for more details).
+Avoid C<< $r->Class::func() >> where using C<@ISA=qw(... Class ...)> and
+C<< $r->func() >> would work (see L<perlbot> for more details).
Use autosplit so little used or newly added functions won't be a
burden to programs that don't use them. Add test functions to

Function and method names seem to work best as all lowercase.

You can use a leading underscore to indicate that a variable or
function should not be used outside the package that defined it.

syntax. By convention you can use a leading underscore on names to
indicate informally that they are 'internal' and not for public use.
