- NEW! Code that conforms: Using PerlCritic, make sure you and your whole team are coding to best standards, industry standards, or your own customized stanfards. Entirely customizable PerlCritic allows you to run defined policies against your source code.

It includes application builders for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, and AIX.
