&lt;p&gt;I used Perl::Critic 0.12 to clean some legacy
code and I was impressed. Now I see that the latest version
has many enhancements, and such a task should be much 
easier.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;I like the interface, although the policy names are a 
little scary. If you could find a way of making them 
shorter (or even identifiable by some acronym, for instance 
ppwb as a shortcut to ProhibitParensWithBuiltins) perhaps 
they could become a habit for command line enthusiasts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As for your plan to enhancements, I see very favourably
your idea of covering most of Conway's book, but I don't 
think I would use a feature that changes my code 
automatically based on some rule. Sure it looks 
interesting, but I produce just enough bugs manually, that 
I don't need the ones introduced in my code 
automatically.&lt;/p&gt; ;)
&lt;p&gt;Kudos for this great job!&lt;/p&gt;</field>
