'use diagnostics' occasionally points out that you might be doing something
unintentionally dumb, but I find it overannoying for production code. I'd definitely
turn it on while developing, though.

As for why this was working 1 in 5 times, was it running under mod_perl, and
cacheing this scalar (i.e. this scalar is assigned elsewhere sometimes, and
just happens to have the correct value after this happens to it?).
