Turns on warnings - helpful if you want to know what is wrong with a
script you have written! An alternative (I reckon) is to put:
use warnings
under use strict. Another useful one for writing secure CGI stuff is
the -T switch, which stands for `Taint mode'. I am sure there are some
who consider this an abhoration (sp?) but this will insist upon data
validation from, for example, HTML forms passed to your script.
Read your perldoc or join a reputable local mailing list.
Using all the sanity-checkers can be extremely irritating but, if you
are just starting out, it will absolutely insist that you do things the
Right Way from the outset, which has to be good news...
