One of the best ways to make your Perl code look more like … well, like Perl code — and not like C or BASIC or whatever you used before you were introduced to Perl — is to get to know the internal variables that Perl uses to control various aspects of your program's execution….

That's what we always needed… stop using your PHP skills in perl scripts like I do… learn those freaky things to make sure no one after you can read your scripts without really being capable in Perl :-)

Or did you know about the flip-flop operator?

In this article they take a look at a number of variables that give you finer control over your file input and output. Can't wait for the weekend to read it fully.
