Question/Topic: Do you use Perl::Critic/perlcritic in your coding projects?

• Yes-executed automagically by my VCS of choice on commit.
• Yes-executed automagically by my editor of choice on save.
• Yes-'perlcritic -5' (be gentle with me).
• Yes-'perlcritic -4' (Ooooh! I like it when you are stern with me).
• Yes-'perlcritic -3' (Harsher! Harsher! Oh yeah!).
• Yes-'perlcritic -2' (the crueler you are, the stronger I become).
• Yes-'perlcritic -1' (for only by brutal honesty can I strive for coding perfection).
• Yes-but the level I use depends on what I am working on.
• Intermittently-depends on the project/code I am working on.
• Intermittently-but trying to get better about it.
• Intermittently-when I think of it.
• Intermittently-I am just starting to try it out.
• No-I am aware of "best practices", but object to one or more suggested in the book.
• No-I am aware of "best practices", but who has the time??
• No-I let someone else (CowboyNeal, paco, NodeReaper, etc.) run it for me.
• No-I've written code for nn+ years-I don't need some script trying to tell me how to code.
• No-I don't need no stinking "best practices"!!
• No-does this mean you will not do my homework for me??
• What are these "best practices" of which you speak?
