instead of
use vars qw($foo $bar);
do
my($foo, $bar);
instead. Depending on the complexity of your CGI scripts, you may have to
refactor in other places too (such as passing the variables into subroutines
that need them, instead of expecting them to have them as a global).
It's always a good practice to avoid using global variables unless you
absolutely have to... local variables make it easier to reuse bits and
pieces of your code elsewhere, as well as giving you the added security of
knowing that your data isn't lurking around long after you're done with it.
