Method and Function names
Begin with a verb, and describe the action taken.
$obj->get_story();
private functions: begin with _ (not enforced by the code, but by convention)
In large for() loops, don't use implicit $_, but name the variable.
"When in doubt, parenthesize..."
When in doubt, parenthesize. At the very least it
will let some poor schmuck bounce on the % key in vi.
Even if you aren't in doubt, consider the mental wel-
fare of the person who has to maintain the code after
you, and who will probably put parentheses in the
wrong place. -- larry wall, perlstyle
