I enable warnings everywhere.  I simply don't use undef values: I used
defined() and exists() to prevent their use (and assign a value to a
display variable explicitly if I need to).

To reply to another note, I've never had to fiddle with the package
symbol table.  The most I've had to do is use package variables -- for
Getopt, perhaps? -- and then I just do $::var or whatever.
