====Local Variables====
Variables in code must always be pre-declared, and should be given the most appropriate level of restriction

'''[http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/my.html my]''', '''[http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/our.html our]''' and '''[http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/local.html local]''' variables are all available to you, however we really ''really'' suggest you use '''my''' variables wherever possible.

Local variables should be given names that reflect their content ($authenticated) rather than a short nmenonic ($au). Local variables should be underscore seperated ($current_password), not camelCased ($currentPassword)

''The appropriate length of a name is inversely proportional to the size of its scope.'' --Mark-Jason Dominus

''Choose mnemonic identifiers. If you can't remember what mnemonic means, you've got a problem.'' -- Larry Wall
