Programming is as much about organization and communication as it is
about coding. It is possible to write your code too densely to be
easily understood.
However you can shorten some of your code.
while (<$TESTFILE>)
{
chomp;
my @split_line = split( /$t_delim/, $_ );
my %Default_types = (
DEFAULT_INPUT => 'INPUT',
DEFAULT_OUTPUT => 'OUTPUT',
);
$default_type = $Default_types{$split_line[0]} || undef;
