I think that in jumping right to perlcritic, you miss a step. I'd first pick up a copy of Perl Best Practices. Much of the value of perlcritic/PBP is wrapped up in the introspection: PBP makes you ask "Why do I code this way?" invites you to explore different ways of doing things. Which, in my case, were often better ways of doing things.	[reply]
