Thanks, P Sena. Guess you're right. I want to make sure the files I'm
dealing with do each compile individually without relying on others to
have declared their global variables. If I have only one process to
check a list of Perl files, crappy stuff might still compile because of
other stuff having initialized it from afar.

Getting each file to compile individually is my first step in a series
of measures to raise code quality. Then, we can think about more
advanced things like testing or perlcritic. You might have better
ideas - if so, please let me know. Thanks!
