The following code forms the typical header for my Perl scripts:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use 5.8.0;

use strict;
use warnings;
use English qw(-no_match_vars);
use locale;

use Carp;
use Errno qw(:POSIX);
use Time::HiRes qw(time sleep);

use Data::Dumper;
$Data::Dumper::Indent = 1;
$Data::Dumper::Varname = 'data';
$Data::Dumper::Terse = 1;
$Data::Dumper::Deepcopy = 1;
$Data::Dumper::Quotekeys = 1;
