in reply to Hacking perl
Superb write up.
I feel sadend however, by one thing that seems to be missing, but in my opinion is absolutely critical to any patch to any OSS Code Base -- test cases.
Even if you don't believe in Test driven development, even if you don't worry about having 100% code coverage in your test suite, the best way to explain what a patch does, is to provide some tests that demonstrates it's usage.
