I see. Perhaps it is better to use the Perl::Critic module, if you are going to do further processing.

As for distinguishing the violations, there are ways to set policies as to which to report, but I can't think of any way to explain them better than the documentation.

You could make the violations easier to parse by specifying your own format string - comma separated or something.

I don't think I can help more without getting into great details about your requirements, sorry.

FVS.
