Sanctions for not following a formatting standard, when perltidy can be set up to give you 95% of any reasonable format you desire? That's why it's a nonissue: people can just format the code with perltidy the way they like it as they work on it, then use the company standard perltidy profile when they commit the code to source control.

There are other things that are nonnegotiable: using strictures, using the company source repos, unit tests, code reuse, etc. Doesn't matter how good a coder you are, your practices are part of your output, and if you can't fit into the team, then your boss has to question your continued employment.
