With warnings:

  perl -wc $path;

With verbose warnings (perldoc Diagnostics for details):

  perl -MDiagnostics -wc $path;


and, of course, you *did* use strict?

The Perl Design Patterns POD is a good place to look
for design ideas:

<http://search.cpan.org/~swalters/Object-PerlDesignPatterns-0.03/PerlDesignPatterns.pm>

There are also a bunch of test modules for specific
parts of code (given you code like the authors of the
modules think you should, which I don't :-).
