Being a beginner myself, I know what you mean. I am unable to write two statements in a row without making one mistake.
The best way that I found to come around this is by writing code in small chunks and testing them in isolation.
So I will normally have two open buffers; in the first one I am writing the actual script and in the second one I test the current working paragraph. This way, spelling mistakes and bugs are caught earlier, and I seldom have to hunt them down too much.
Of course there is also the case that other bugs arise when this "code chunks" interact poorly, but most of the "d'oh" mistakes become evident earlier this way.

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).
