rules-perl

What problem does it solve?

Perl projects inherit universal rules but diverge on community expectations, so this guide delivers Perl-specific overrides that keep agents from breaking naming, formatting, testing, and safety conventions.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Naming & Formatting: Enforces perlstyle naming, PascalCase packages, snake_case variables, perltidy formatting, and perlcritic checks tailored to Perl idioms.
• Strictness & Safety: Requires use strict, use warnings, modern features, perlcritic configuration, and lexical resource handling to avoid silent bugs.
• Testing & Data Safety: Directs TAP-based testing with Test::More, coverage tooling, DBI placeholders, and autodie/Carp strategies for robust error handling and SQL protection.

Quick Start

Apply the rules-perl conventions when reviewing a Perl module to check naming, testing, and SQL best practices.
