Ten Essential Development Practices
1. Design the module’s interface first.
2. Write the test cases before the code.
3. Create standard POD templates for modules and applications.
4. Use a revision control system.
5. Create consistent command-line and configuration interfaces.
6. Agree upon a coherent layout style and automate it with perltidy.
7. Code in commented paragraphs.
8. Throw exceptions instead of returning special values or setting flags.
9. Add new test cases before you start debugging.
10. Don’t optimize code—benchmark it.
