Perl::Critic

Joshua McAdams

Tuesday April 11th 2006 at 7:00pm
Wheaton, Illinois Institute of Technology - Rice Campus, Room 103

Abstract

So you've read Perl Best Practices and have decided to start implementing some coding standards within the code you write. No matter how hard you try to code between the lines, it is all to easy to slip up here and there and write code that breaks even your own rules. What you need is an automated method of pointing out coding inconsistencies. What you need is Perl::Critic.

Perl::Critic is an extensible framework for creating and applying coding standards to Perl source code. Most of the default standards are based on Damian Conway's book Perl Best Practices. However, you can enable, disable, customize, and create policies that suit your own tastes.

Stop by to see Josh McAdams give a guided tour to the Perl::Critic system.
