You can install the module Perl::Critic using the CPAN client of your choice. I think at the point in learning the language that you're at, this is not something that you need to worry about just yet. Once you have learned enough to know what your choice of CPAN client _is_, then you can investigate Perl::Critic. You should also know that, Shawn's endorsement not withstanding, many people consider the advice given in Perl Best Practices to be a bit of a mixed bag. There are some good tips in there, but they're mixed in with a bunch of fairly strongly opinionated directions and some stuff that's just badly outdated at this point in time. At the point where you are, I would focus more on the material in either Ovid's book or in _Learning Perl_, and leave the worrying about "best practices" and things like perltidy and perlcritic for down the road. Good luck with your learning, and please feel free to ask additional questions on the list as you encounter things you don't understand. chrs, john. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
