I initially was thinking this too, but there's a major problem:

   print "Your stuff is: @stuff\n";

I want this to *always* print out the _value_ of @stuff, even if it's
unititalized. Perl's already smart enough. I think getting in the habit
of writing:

   $email = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';

Is the better thing to do.
