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.

Improve code quality by:
- {{{expected_outcomes_what}}}- adding unit tests to functions that lack them
