In response to tye's response to my posting.
Thanks for jacques pointer to this node.
There, I was suggesting a more Perl-style polling. I thought I would benefit beginners like me, who like to learn more from the master's style.
So here is my suggestion (apologize if it sounds silly)

"My favorite place to put subroutines collection is:"
1.Before main
2.After main
3.use Module::
4.etc

"My favorite way to 'die' is: "
1. open (FOO,$foo|| die "Can't open $foo: $!)
2. unless (open OLD, "counter") {die "Cannot open counter";}
3. etc..(I was referring to merlyn's article)

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
