in reply to Does PerlMonks do general code reviews?

Of course, there is no better thing than having your code scanned by the Perlmonks' Mark 1 Eyeballs, but if you are in a hurry or want to have some automated critique, did you think of using Perl::Critic? It applies Damian Conway's Perl Best Practices and although not everyone agrees with all his ideas on the matter, it goes a long way in showing the most obvious (and some not so obvious) dos and don'ts of writing good Perl code.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James

    I was unaware of Perl::Critic. That looks pretty cool.

    I'll try running it on v0.02 of the module this evening.
