I usually prefer to keep the scope levels in mind. Because perl doesnt have a defined main block and some of the subtler uses of scope (anonymous blocks for instance) and BEGIN{} END{} blocks I try to keep things organised so its intuitive. For instance
#!perl # GLOBAL DEFINITIONS # TYPEGLOBMANIPULATIONS # BEGIN{} # FUNCTIONS # ANON_BLOCKS # END{} # main() equivelent. __DATA__
Because this kind of thing can get confusing:
my $var; sub foo {$var++; #ie code} my @list; use Some::Class; sub bar{} my %hash; sub sna{} sub fu{} my $scalar; # code # .... __DATA__
Now you might say "what if a lexical variable is used only by one particular funct ie static lexical" well then I usually do something like this
{ #Anonymous block for the following static lexicals: my $static_scalar; my @static_array; sub push_stack { push @static_array,@_} sub pop_stack { pop @stack} } #End anonymous block
So the first would probably end up like this:
use Some::Class; sub sna{} sub fu{} { my $var; sub foo {$var++; #ie code} } { my @list; sub bar{} } my $scalar; my %hash; # code # .... __DATA__
Much easier to figure out whats gone 12 months later i assure you. Yves

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
