But how are we going to know if what they did is the best practice or the best way to do that. Note that we dont have a senior level or an experience developer to check their code.
You could automate the process using Perl::Critic, which can be customized to highlight what you deem important.

Another effective method for checking code robustness is to run the code on the various platforms/OS's and versions of Perl you have available to you. For example, here @work, I have 3 versions of Perl (5.8.5/5.8.8/5.10.0) installed on 2 linux variants (32-bit/64-bit).

Perl::Tidy is another handy tool to guide new users on consistent code layout practices.

    Perl::Critic is a great measure of code quality, but not programming skill, or knowledge.

    If a company is not willing to invest in its employees or skilled programmers to evaluate their work, I imagine they are not going to learn much in the short-term.

    It is like you and your friends trying to learn a foreign language from a book. You will not learn it very well until you get someone who already speaks it.
