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.
