Re: I need perl coding standards

in reply to I need perl coding standards

The nice thing about coding standards, there are so many to choose from. :-)

• perlstyle (see also the "Programming with Style" section of Chapter 24 in Programming Perl)
• PBP and Perl::Critic
• Perl Style Guides for Large Projects -- see also Daniel Allen Perl coding guidelines
• Juerd's Perl style guide
• My coding guidelines -- see also Abigail Perl coding guidelines (broken link)
• slash Perl coding guidelines
• bbc coding guidelines
• skud article: In Defense of Coding Standards
• Damian article: Ten Essential Development Practices
• Dominus article: Program Repair Shop and Red Flags
• Dominus article: Red Flags Return
• Alias Perl coding guidelines (broken link)
• p5ee portability coding guidelines (broken link)

I should note that my guide in that list is specifically and only intended for large scale Perl Object Oriented development.

Many of it's points may be incorrect or not relevant for smaller projects, or projects that are not OO.
