You have my sympathy, but I find your argument Luddite-crous.
I stopped using Perl because it would not scale up to the tasks I was addressing. Then the strict pragma was created; that automatic application of a set of contraints to code was helpful. The many real mistakes caught were well worth the few false positives. In the general case, it is foolish to assume that bosses are morons and underlings have the correct answers. A consortium of underlings may conspire and through insubordination save a project from a mandate of some stupid practice, but that just helps to prove the mandate worthwhile when a review is done. That there are 256 Perl best practices is just too cute.
Be well, Update: Added when a review is done because the sentence could be read with either of two opposing meanings.
