To keep chromatic happy: test, test, test. Give the code to your peers to review the code, do some QA testing. After that, give it to a group of users that have no idea what the script is supposed to do - monitor how they're using the script - users have this annoying habit of breaking a piece of code you previously though was near prefect. Modularise the code as much as possible and test each piece separately and as a unit. Use CPAN modules for common tasks - they've been well tested and proven in real life, that hand-rolled parser (or whatever) hasn't. I've already got several nodes on this topic listed on my homenode, but I'll reproduce them here: Use Super search - I'm sure there are many more nodes on the subject. Test, test, test.
