Use strict and warnings enabled or are they already have it or not ? if not how are the compiled results and if yes how are they? Generate a kind of test frame so as to write and execute test scripts for each perl file from within the framework. These individual test scripts would comprise of various test cases/scenarios. Formulate the case/scenarios such that it tests all scenes whetrein some globals gets used and sometimes not used may be. Also, in same lines the scenarios where at run time one file is required at times and not required sometimes. Take look at do and eval from perldoc and see if it helps somewhere from a to z. The globals much in question, can be taken care from each individual test script and similar other things if exists. There may be more than one test script corresponding to a perl file (original perl program to be tested). This can be done sequentally or parallely and depends on situations. RUn framework and observer/collect results/reports...
