What are the Most Common PERL Coding Errors?

Using bad paths. To be safe people should always try to use full path names and
make sure that the files they are manipulating/accessing are there and have the proper
permissions set.

Unescaped characters. '@' has a special meaning in perl to signify an array. A lot
of times people do something like my $url = "Johnny@Johnnyshouse.com" This is
incorrect and needs to be specified as "Johnny@Johnnyshouse.com. Quotation marks
need to be escaped this way also.
