Off the top of my head ...
- There's a level of Hell reserved for people who consider creating temporary files and directories with formats like tempdir-{month}{day}.
- There's a level of Hell reserved for people who write batch processing code that doesn't clean up after itself.
- There's a level of Hell reserved for global and environment variables and those people who use them without care or regard in production code.
- There's a level of Hell reserved for those people who write uncommented and unstructured code.
- There's a level of Hell reserved for that person who did all of the above in some production code which caused me a headache in debugging today.
- There's a level of Hell reserved for those people who don't understand what's involved in production code but demand for it to be "just fixed so it works".
- There's a level of Hell reserved for people who use bless $self, ref($proto) || $proto
- There's a level of Hell reserved for people who write "object-orientated" modules that break inheritance.
- There's a level of Hell reserved for the person who incorporated the concept of "ASCII" and "binary" files into the FTP protocol and the Windows operating system - Come'on, it's all just bits, ones and zeros, people!
- There's a level of Hell reserved for the person who incorporated the \r\n line feed on Windows platforms - Yes, I know there was a valid historical motivation in doing it this way, but I'm venting!
I am feeling vented ... :-)

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.
