I fear that you have encountered perl's deceptively simple approach - and that it has lulled you into a false sense of security. Perl is EVIL! It has big sharped fanged teeth! What starts out as a simple script will evolve into a code line unless you prevent it! Oh sure first its a few simple scripts, then it's collecting the common functions into a perl library to simply 'require' them in - then its that silly solution about using a library like approach for caching configuration data - eg: fixed valued variables - then it's perl modules, sub_classing....
