in reply to Perl best practices fanatism

My experience has been that very few programmers try to follow anything as clearly defined as PBP, and with Perl you're generally lucky just to find a place where everyone turns on strict and warnings. You may chafe at some of the PBP stuff, but compared to the utter chaos that reigns in most programming teams I think you should count your blessings.
