... Michael Schwern's YAPC talk "Ineffective Perl Programming"
Is this available online anywhere? It sounds like an interesting talk.
And japhy, I also think that these kind of suggestions are really cool things to know about. It's the kind of advice that you generally have to sweat through years of doing things the not-so-good way before you realise how you should have been doing it all this time. TIMTOWTDI[0], but SWABTO[1] (of course,
WAHOF[2], and with any solution, YMMV[3])

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.
