in thread Unlimited chaining (is there a way to detect this?)

Hey that sounds great. Only one issue.

Picture this scenario: You create a module and put it up on CPAN. How do you propose to get all of your subsequent users to submit to a code review? I realize that the core of this isn't the problem for the author of a module. People will do all sorts of inane and dumb things with downloaded modules. So is the best method for detecting this a code review?

    Yeah, and users are stupid, humans are sinners etc.

      Haven't you heard of the new Acme Safety Axe with it's integral, non-removable Rubber Blade Guard.

      So safe, no one has ever cut themselves with one. (Nor anything else, but you can't put a price on safety! :)

    Well, I dunno, what about submitting a code review? The infrastructure is in place. You only have to use it.
