Thank you all for your comments!

Because I am used to C/C++ I do not 'like' the usage of variables and
subroutines before even declaration in a source code 'instinctively'.
This is, of course, my personal spleen which may change with more
experience in using Perl.

That's an important point. I thought that Perl was strictly interpreted.
The time needed for compilation, however, should be still affected by
the structure and length of the source code.

Thanks
