Thanks for this. If for no other reason than that I went and read the CERT guidelines and am more aware of best practices. I generally have just blindly followed Perl::Critic's advice (because you're "supposed to" follow it). However I have found some things about it's critiques to be very annoying (stringy eval is something I actually like to use sometimes). Now after having read the CERT docs I have a clearer view of why certain policies are used, and with that clarity came conviction--of their worthiness and legitimacy. This can be attributed in part to the fact that the topics are very well covered.
