I've long felt that Fatal (or a module based on Fatal.pm) needed much greater coverage including print, printf, opendir, seek, write, truncate, kill, pipe, bind, connect, listen, send, socket, chown, chmod, utime, etc. without the user having to name any of these (and, personally, I think a failed close should never warrant more than a warning). And should default to only being fatal when in a void context.
Then we need a single module that rolls this,strict, and warnings (and only optionally diagnostics) together with a short, catchy name so that we can tell initiates to simply add -MAID or use AID; to all of their scripts to catch lots of simple mistakes.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
