I'd suggest you take a look at perl -w and/or use warnings; - they'll provide a lot of useful information for some (although not all) of what you need, for example warning about variables that are only used once, and (known) calls that can return a zero value that haven't been checked for.

Perldoc has some useful information about using warnings here.

Above and beyond that, I'm not aware of any tool that does what you ask - maybe others can point you in a better direction there.

Hope that helps ..

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
