in reply to What's the biggest piece of work you've done alone with Perl?

Here is a list I've tried to live by...

• Change Nothing
• If you have to change it, make the smallest change possible
• Make all changes in parallel---implement the new code and compare it's results with the previous
• Change Nothing without a test to back it up with...

And if given a choice, it is often better to be lucky than good.
