Today, inspired (or at least prodded) to action by an article in volume 2, issue 3 of The Perl Review on Perl::Critic I did the good trooper thing and installed same on my box of choice. It should be noted that this is version 16, not 17, since I used ppm and ActiveState for the install. Eager to expose myself to a list of my sins I did the obvious, i.e. c:\perlcritic EPD.pm and then hit return. Only to be confronted with Can't locate object method "default_severity" via package "Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables" at C:/Perl/site/lib/Perl/Critic/Config.pm line 89. This suggests an installation problem, not unknown under ActiveState. Question is "Does anyone know the fix?

Update And the winner is Chris Dolan who nailed it in one with the suggestion to move to version 0.17!
