Use Perl::Tidy to help write programs that are easier to read, easier to maintain, and in general prettier. Perl Tidy is a configurable tool that will format your perl code to your specifications.

Use Perl::Critic to find problems in your code that have yet to surface. Perl Critic is another configurable utility that will scan your program for problems in style, readability, security, maintenance and complexity.

This talk will show the new perl programmer why these two modules are useful, how to use them, and how to customize them for their own needs.
