I have old perl code, but it still does what it needs to, and is currently being used. Now I need to make changes to the code, (about once every 4 months). Over time we all code better -- learning better ways to write things, clearer ways to write code, write more comments. Note: I haven't started using strict or -w yet... soon hopefully with my new programs.
Do I rewrite all the code? Do I just chuck in the changes and hope for the best? Do I cut 'n' paste what I know works (ie subroutines [poorly written]) and change the rest? I know when I have to look at someone else's script most of the time I say, "If you want me to maintain it then I should have written it in the first place" and then I rewrite all the code. Any suggestions? (I hope I didn't open a can o' worms).
