This is how I run
perlcritic. It sorts the output by severity, and it makes it easy to access the POD for a given policy (via
perldoc with a simple copy'n'paste in your shell). It also runs lint checking using
B::Lint.
=head1 Name
B<pcsort> - Sort perlcritic 'brutal' output by severity
=head1 Description
Input is a Perl script or module.
Prints to STDOUT.
Example: pcsort foo.pl
Also runs perl -MO=Lint.
See also ~/.perlcriticrc file
=cut
use warnings FATAL => 'all';
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
$Data::Dumper::Sortkeys = 1;
my $file = shift;
my %hoa;
my %pols;
# These command line settings override same settings
# in ~/.perlcriticrc file
my @lines = qx(perlcritic --brutal --verbose 9 $file);
for (@lines) {
if (/ \[ ([\w:]+) \] .*? Severity : \s+ (\d) /x) {
chomp;
my $pol = $1;
my $sev = $2;
push @{ $hoa{$sev} }, $_;
$pols{"perldoc Perl::Critic::Policy::$pol"}++;
}
}
print Dumper(\%hoa);
print 'TOTAL = ', scalar @lines, "\n";
print "$_\n" for sort keys %pols;
my $lint = "perl -MO=Lint $file";
print "\n$lint\n";
print qx($lint 2>&1); # Make sure it all goes to STDOUT
