## Perl Coding Standards

Perl scripts should use strict, and run -w. Documentation should come in .pod format, documentation about script internals should be in perl comments.

No & in function call unless necessary.

Split long lines using hard return; try to respect the 72th column margin (this is kind of a soft limit).

Refer to the Lire::Program manpage for more details.
