There's a web service at http://perlcritic.com/ which will run Perl::Critic over code sent in from the web. I'm sure they'd like to keep that as safe as possible.

There's a Perl::Critic::Dynamic distribution just for collecting policies that have to compile the code to run, but I suspect it doesn't get much use. The only policy in it is Perl::Critic::Policy::Dynamic::ValidateAgainstSymbolTable. If I wanted to score regular expressions using re as tilly suggests, it would have to go in with the (one) other dynamic policy, which doesn't seem desirable considering users who already expect that functionality in the core distribution.
