note KurtSchwind <p>I think we can all agree that PBP is a set of guidelines, not laws. But the guidelines are <b>very good</b>. If I was starting a new perl shop up, I'd hand that out as the guidelines to use. Like some other folks, I think it's far more common to have complete chaos and disorder than to have fanatical rule following. </p> <p>Given the two environments, I'd rather have the fanatics. But if I had the choice of working with people who <u>thought</u> about the rules and made conscience decisions to break them where appropriate (and <b><i>Document</i></b> those decisions), I'd rather have that. </p> <p>As it stands today, I try very hard to pass <tt>perlcritic -brutal</tt> if I can. I use strictures 99% of the time. But I don't get hung up if brutal is complaining about something I don't care about. </p> <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-646951"> --<br /><i> I used to drive a Heisenbergmobile, but every time I looked at the speedometer, I got lost.</i> </div></div> 655882 655882
