Use perl-critic this will find most of the nasties that you have the classic is:
my $var = {code} if {condition};
The my gets round perl strict, but $var doesn’t get updated if {condition}
isn’t met, so holds the variable from the last time round..
Better is
my $var = ‘’;
$var = {code} if {condition};
or
my $var = {condition} ? {code} : ‘’;

I'm a bit curious about this - whilst I'm still testing all this on a staging
environment, how can I tell if things can leak between runs?
Is coding to normal 'use strict; use warnings;' standards good enough?
Are there other ways to confirm correct operations?
