I start any file based programs with strict and warnings. But I rarely -Mstrict with -e. Often that means that when a -e program begins to grow to the point that my shell's (bash or cmd.exe depending on platform) readline is more cumbersome than moving the code into a file and bouncing to a shell to execute (or keybinding to execute for editors that handle it well) I move it to a file, usualy adding strict and warnings before I even copy the code from the command line, and then forgetting before the first time I run the file that I still need a few my's sprinkled around.
I'm fairly good at judging before hand what will be a one off with maybe an edit or two and a program that will require editing and debugging, but ever couple of months I'm not so lucky.

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).
