perl-Perl-Critic

Perl::Critic is an extensible framework for creating and applying coding
standards to Perl source code. Essentially, it is a static source code
analysis engine. Perl::Critic is distributed with a number of
Perl::Critic::Policy modules that attempt to enforce various coding
guidelines. Most Policy modules are based on Damian Conway's book Perl
Best Practices. However, Perl::Critic is not limited to PBP and will
even support Policies that contradict Conway. You can enable, disable, and
customize those Polices through the Perl::Critic interface. You can also
create new Policy modules that suit your own tastes.
For a command-line interface to Perl::Critic, see the documentation for
perlcritic. If you want to integrate Perl::Critic with your build process,
Test::Perl::Critic provides an interface that is suitable for test
programs. Also, Test::Perl::Critic::Progressive is useful for gradually
applying coding standards to legacy code. For the ultimate convenience (at
the expense of some flexibility) see the criticism pragma.
If you'd like to try Perl::Critic without installing anything, there is a
web-service available at http://perlcritic.com. The web-service does not
yet support all the configuration features that are available in the native
Perl::Critic API, but it should give you a good idea of what it does.
Also, ActivePerl includes a very slick graphical interface to Perl-Critic
called 'perlcritic-gui'. You can get a free community edition of ActivePerl
from http://www.activestate.com.
