Excellent post (especially for a starter), Nuke! :)

To start, let me welcome you to the Monastery. It is my sincere pleasure to see you have found the courage to set out on the glorious passage of sainthood!

I think your post is a perfect fit for the Perl Monks Discussion forum since you are really trying to discuss a given subject here rather than ask a plain Perl coding question.

You have picked a nice set of code review levels. But I also feel that it still lacks a few pieces. For example, at my work, we also check for ways how a piece of code that is up for a review could be 'refactored'. This is very much in line with a fabulous discussion you can find here and also here. Of course, we also give top priority to script security, especially if it's a web script. For server side scripts only, which are not directly accessible through a web server, there are other things to look at.

First, if script is running as a daemon, we normally look closely at hot spots which could cause memory leaks or grind the entire system to a virtual hault by taking over CPU (the script should run at appropriate 'nice' levels...)

Secondly, in our code reviews, we consider how a given script is handling files etc. For example, if file locking is required, is it being done properly in the code?

UPDATE: I don't have any more votes left for today, but I'll make sure to give your post a ++ tomorrow! ;-)

UPDATE 1: Oops, was this thread moved to Perl Monks Discussions from it's initial Seekers of Perl Wisdom spot, or do I suffer late night migraine? ;)

UPDATE 2: Ahh, just found it out from andreycheck that I'm apparently a perfectly normal human being; a monk, but still in good spiritual health. Thanks guys for moving the post as I too felt it would be the right thing to do :p
