I start off all my programs with use strict :-)
But more to the point, how do you use your TRUE and FALSE? Suppose you
want to test the return value of this sub:
sub returns_a_true_value { 8.2 }
Would you do "if (returns_a_true_value() eq TRUE)"? "== TRUE"?
Neither would work, and you can just do "if (returns_a_true_value())"
directly anyway.
