Talk synopsis: Most programmers write the first code that comes into their heads. If you add a second phase, in which you edit the code, tighten it up, and trim out the unnecessary stuff, the result is much better. Editing and improving code is easy! If you learn to recognize and repair a few "red flags" that are easy to find and easy to fix, your code gets significantly better. In this talk, I'll take an example program contributed by a Pittsburgh Perl Monger and I'll show how addressing the red flags can make it faster, simpler, and more robust while using 30 to 50% less code."
