Sometimes it is good just to work out the steps of your program in different subroutines. It makes it very understandable and clear.
E.g. i am sleepy now, so
#!/usr/bin/perl
&stand_up();
&brush_teeth();
&go_to_bed();
&fall_asleep();
exit (0);
# i don't go into details about the subs now :-)
Sometimes it is very useful to store your reusable routines in separate files, in a common directory, and include them in your script, but be careful, too much include files messes up everything. Be smart. :-)

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
