The most important thing is to run your programs under the B<-w>
flag at all times. You may turn it off explicitly for particular
-portions of code via the C<$^W> variable if you must. You should

also always run under C<use strict> or know the reason why not.
The C<use sigtrap> and even C<use diagnostics> pragmas may also prove
useful.
Think about reusability. Why waste brainpower on a one-shot when you
might want to do something like it again? Consider generalizing your
code. Consider writing a module or object class. Consider making your
-code run cleanly with C<use strict> and B<-w> in effect. Consider giving away
