Under Windows you should start all of your scripts with
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
Surprised? Note that this won't tell the operating system to look for perl.exe in the /usr/bin directory. It will tell perl to turn on warnings, even on Windows, even without Apache. Oh, when using Apache, you'd want the real path to perl.exe instead of /usr/bin/perl, since, as you know, Apache looks at the #! line.
I don't use warnings as that will prevent my code from compiling prior to Perl 5.6 and it is still way too early to yell at anyone for running pre-5.6 versions of Perl. (:

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).
