I never allow uninitialised variables in my perl code. It is
simply better to be consistent across all programming languages
I use and make that the "best practice".

Can you give me an example where an uninitialised variable
is *necessary* to get a perl code segment working? So far, I
have always found a way to avoid that warning message. And when
I see it, I fix the problem.

More thoughts on error_log: I have had great trouble finding
"interesting" errors and warnings in the Koha error log due
to the excessive amount of DEBUG messages from Koha and
warnings from Perl and the MySQL DBI.

Has consideration been given to a global debug(string) function
that can be used to control the printing of debug information?
Or even debug(string,debuglevel) ?
