  Always have a catch-all.
  If you're doing an if statement, always have an else.
  If no actual need, then at least make a comment to that effect.
  Can be left out if blatantly obvious, such as an if that dies.
    if ( something bad ) {
         die "something bad happened";
    }
    if ( test ) {
          ...
    } else {
          # do nothing
    }
