The Perl 5 module 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.
|
||
|
|
A front-end script, perlcritic, is provided.
