Unless my eyes are deceiving me, I don't see perlmodstyle in your list, which is a very good resource.

Additionally, if you intend to upload to CPAN, I recommend reading the CPAN Author's FAQ, and About PAUSE (even if you're not uploading to CPAN, there's useful advice).

Once you're confident enough in your own good judgement to not be blindly influenced by the book, Perl Best Practices (O'Reilly) is useful. But most people seem to ignore the instructions early in the book telling authors that these guidelines are more intended to "get you thinking" than to "tell you what to do." In practice, it seems the opposite happens; the "best practices" are trotted out as a crutch to excuse coders from thinking for themselves. With that caveat, I still think it can be helpful to read through it and try to understand what issues are being addressed, and where the suggestions are (and are not) appropriate.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
