I like to use a debugging constant.
use constant DEBUGGING => 0;
if ( DEBUGGING )
{
warn "Someval: $someval\n";
}
Later, if I need to do more development or debugging, I can change the constant's
value to one and
globally enable the debugging features. This has the advantage of not having to go
through and
"uncomment" all of my commented out sections. Further, it's immediately clear to any
maintenance
programmer exactly what you intended.
