Thanks for your response, very interesting. Let's compare a little bit. (Taken from a PA document, a possible SW criticality categorization is... (our standards can be tailored in most cases).
Category Definition
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A Software that if not executed, or if not correctly executed,
or whose anomalous behaviour can cause or contribute to a
system failure resulting in:
-> Catastrophic consequences
---------------------------------------------------------------------
B Software that if not executed, or if not correctly executed,
or whose anomalous behaviour can cause or contribute to a
system failure resulting in:
-> Critical consequences
---------------------------------------------------------------------
C Software that if not executed, or if not correctly executed,
or whose anomalous behaviour can cause or contribute to a
system failure resulting in:
-> Major consequences
---------------------------------------------------------------------
D Software that if not executed, or if not correctly executed,
or whose anomalous behaviour can cause or contribute to a
system failure resulting in:
-> Minor or Negligible consequences
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I have written Perl for category D. I'm sure there is Perl category C around as well.
Cheers

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
