devel/p5-Perl-Critic 1.156nb2 NetBSD

The Perl 5 module Perl::Critic is an extensible framework for creating and applying coding standards to Perl source code.

Essentially, it is a static source code analysis engine. Perl::Critic is distributed with a number of Perl::Critic::Policy modules that attempt to enforce various coding guidelines. Most Policy modules are based on Damian Conway's book Perl Best Practices. However, Perl::Critic is not limited to PBP and will even support Policies that contradict Conway. You can enable, disable, and customize those Polices through the Perl::Critic interface. You can also create new Policy modules that suit your own tastes. A front-end script, perlcritic, is provided.
