Scary situation, not fun, but I think determining a strategy is your best bet. I don't know if this has ever been done, but I wonder if you could write a utility that would figure out all the scalars, arrays and hashes declared, and have this utility grep thru the code to figure out where 'my' hasn't been used.
It might be too gnarly a path to even go down though ... I wonder if you could break the code into smaller chunks and lib-ify it, so you can fix and do unit testing on individual subs? If the code is bad enough I usually just plan on transplanting code into a new file and fixing as I rewrite each sub, that way there's a method to the madness, and I can incrementally fix the code without 'breaking' the original. -mr.dunstan In reply to Re: Best way to fix a broken but functional program?
