If you know you are going to be trying to treat null strings as numbers, turn it off:

Then perlcritic will complain:

Warnings disabled at line 10, column 5.  See page 431 of PBP.  (Severity: 4)

Solution 1 (ugly): no warnings 'numeric';  ## no critic (TestingAndDebugging::ProhibitNoWarnings)

Solucion 2 (dangerous): add the following to ~/.perlcriticrc:

[TestingAndDebugging::ProhibitNoWarnings]
allow = numeric

Then perlcritic will complain:

And if you're going to allow a piece of dumb software to override your own judgement, then I've got a link that will tell you your computer is riddled with virii and trojans and will only charge you $49.99 to rid you of them.

As configured by default, it shouldn't be called perlcritic but perlblatentalarmist.

Yes, I fully agree with that. Thankfully, it can be configured!
