Impact (why)

Improving Perl code quality and documentation is a great way to help the project move forward at a faster pace in the future.

Having less bugs also greatly improves the user and contributors experience.

Having a cleaner code, may also help having more contributions to the perl code base.

Expected outcomes (what)

{{{expected_outcomes_what}}}- adding unit tests to functions that lack them - adding integration tests - investigating the cause of warnings (e.g. unitialized variables) and fixing them - possibly refactoring some parts of the code to make it more simple and readable
