I'm not contributing anything to the OP, but this made me wonder about perl critic. So I installed and and started to play. Everything I've written, so far, passes it(at least from the documentations example) so I deliberately coded something that does not pass strictures:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
$thing = "bleh";
print "hello $thing $bleh\n";
Here's critic:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Perl::Critic;
my $file = shift;
my $critic = Perl::Critic->new();
my @violations = $critic->critique($file);
print "@violations\n";
And here's my result:
$ perl critic ;perl thing
Global symbol "$thing" requires explicit package name at thing line 6.
Global symbol "$thing" requires explicit package name at thing line 8.
Global symbol "$bleh" requires explicit package name at thing line 8.
Execution of thing aborted due to compilation errors.
What's the purpose of this 'critic' module anyhow?

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).
