in reply to Perl Best Practices for Everyone!

The big one for me was using a scalar as a filehandle.

Oh - and underscore_separated_words in variable names. I previously used camelCase, for maximum typing speed. The underscore way does enhance readability.

I also converted to using inside-out objects, and distict get_ and set_ methods; but I am finding it a chore. This one might not stick.
