Declarations

• Declare variables near where they are used

• This tends to keep the scope small

• Easier on the maintenance programmer

• So for example, instead of:

        my $inv_file;

        ... 83 lines omitted

        $inv_file  = $data_out_path . ".inv";   

• Just use:

        my $inv_file  = $data_out_path . ".inv";   

• This also eliminates a line of useless clutter
