Validates Perl scripts for syntax accuracy, security vulnerabilities, and adherence to industry best practices.
The Perl Script Validator skill provides a comprehensive suite of automated checks designed to ensure Perl code is production-ready. It streamlines the development workflow by performing deep syntax verification, auditing for essential pragmas like strict and warnings, and scanning for dangerous security patterns such as unsafe string evals or two-argument open calls. Whether you are refactoring legacy code or writing new scripts, this skill helps maintain high standards for code quality, security, and documentation through integrated tools like perlcritic and podchecker.
