Writing Perl script

[Lonny Selinger]

One thing you can do is predeclare the variable as "undefined" oustide of any
functions. This is what I normally do when writing perl ... the alternative is to
declare it at the time of use (while using strict) in each function its called in.
An example of a pre-declaration might be:

my $var = undef;

Same goes for explicit declaration withing a function:

my $var = $some_var;

is this sort of what you're looking for? I'm assuming you're using strict.
