>Much of your problem has been solved through lexical warnings.  

That's very true.  People who globally enable warnings in code that
isn't their own get precisely what they've asked for.  'Twas for
this that lexical warnings were invented--amongst other things.

Don't write

    #!/usr/bin/perl -w

when you mean 

    use warnings;

As these are *not* the same thing.
