Are there any good automated frameworks for applying coding standards in Perl?

Question

One I am aware of is Perl::Critic

And my googling has resulted in no results on multiple attempts so far. :-(

Does anyone have any recommendations here?

Answer 1

A nice combination is perlcritic with EPIC for Eclipse - hit CTRL-SHIFT-C (or your preferred configured shortcut) and your code is marked up with warning indicators wherever perlcritic has found something to complain about. Much nicer than remembering to run it before checkin. And as normal with perlcritic, it will pick up your .perlcriticrc so you can customise the rules. We keep our .perlcriticrc in version control so everyone gets the same standards.
