If you're going to use shift, name the array.
my $var;
sub foo {
$var = shift; # shifts @_
}
{
$var = shift; # shifts @ARGV
}
Without the array, it's easy to forget what is being shifted.
Remember, things that behave differently should look different.

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.
I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.
Eliminate software piracy: use only FLOSS.
