This page has a list of random weird Perl and DW gotchas

Gotchas
LJ::Entry->new always returns an LJ::Entry (DW)
my $entry = LJ::Entry->new( $u, ditemid => $deleted_ditemid ); print "Entry 1 is defined\n" if defined $entry; print "Entry 1 is valid\n" if defined $entry->valid; $entry = LJ::Entry->new( $u, ditemid => $valid_ditemid ); print "Entry 2 is defined\n" if defined $entry; print "Entry 2 is valid\n" if defined $entry->valid;
Returns
Invalid language.

You can modify ...
use strict; my $x; print "x is '$x'\n"; foo($x); print "x is now '$x'\n"; sub foo { $_[0] = "bar"; }

x is '' x is now 'bar'
use strict + my $foo if
use strict; my $x = -1 if 0; # intentional false, for example. $x = 1; # This accesses a *global, persistant across requests* $x
The condition can be anything, and this bug only happens if the "my $x" line does not execute because of the condition, if the condition is true then it will end up using the local as expected.
strict does not complain about this.
Do the following instead:
use strict; my $x; $x = -1 if 0; $x = 1;
