Some Style Guide Pointers

Have a style guide, start from perlstyle and salt to taste.

• Follow the intent, don't sweat unapproved styles

• The "Who cares?" principle.

        my($self) = shift;      OR
        my $self  = shift;      OR
        my($self) = @_;

    Which is the right style?  WHO CARES!

• Avoid religion

• Avoid literal tabs. Everyone has different tab stops set.

• Keep it up to date, keep it under version control.

• Inmates run this asylum, programmers write the style guide.
