If that question does not belong in the spirit of Perl, then neither does Very very small style question from Dominus.

Likewise the core documentation should cut out perlstyle, it is obviously encouraging the wrong attitudes towards Perl.

Now if I want someone else to tell me how to program, then I will use Python or Java. But if I stop looking for suggestions on how I might be able to program better, then I will look for another career.

Aside from that, I tend to do something similar to the rest of your answer except with the caveat that I think of Carp as being different from die and warn in that it makes it easy to get useful context. Also in CGI programming warn becomes a way to communicate with the server logs rather than the user. This distinction is often very useful.

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.
