Perl has neat ways to manage namespaces, so you can avoid singletons, esp for procedural code

If you're going for conditional compilation optimize the code use Devel::CheckOS();
use constant WIN32 => !! Devel::CheckOS::os_is('MicrosoftWindows');

This probably doesn't apply to your codebase, but a common mental block is developing your app in a single file when it naturally lends itself to multiple files

Write/develop/test the code normally in seperate files -- don't complicate development by limited thinking about distribution :)

You can combine it into a single file for distribution later, using fatpack/pp/ http://www.cavapackager.com/ or whatever

PAR/pp can pack your script/modules only without including core modules, but you probably think that's too heavy (requires installing/packing PAR)

fatpack is lighter, and you can fatpack YourApp::Linux/YourApp::Windows, and offer linuxapp.pl/windowsapp.pl downloads

or you can use 'cat' with autosplit/autoload like BrowserUk suggests

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.
