Modules

A collection of handy Perl::Critic policies
Commented-out code is usually noise. It should be removed.
Don't use XXX, TODO, or FIXME.
Know what you're going to test.
Prohibit variables differentiated by trailing numbers.
Create a clone() method if you need copies of objects.
Adding modifiers to a regular expression made up entirely of a variable created with qr() is usually not doing what you expect.
Don't use generic variable names.
