Has the code base been made worse? No. In fact I fixed a host of actual known pod issues that had been ignored that no one had bothered to fix. This is my beef with podcheck: It's far to easy to let known issues grow and be ignored. If you don't like 100, go fix all the places that are over 100. Then *GET RID OFF* the known issues file. Then tighten the limit down to 90. Then go fix all the places over 90. Repeat until a point of diminishing returns. If we *really* thought 80 characters was important, we'd *FIX* the problem, not use a test that is so easily bypassed. Karl -- you were responsible for most of the recent commits to pod/perlebcidic.pod. Did you fix the many lines over 80? No, you didn't. I really respect your many contributions to the core, but please walk the walk before you talk the talk. Tests that flag things we don't fix aren't constructive. DavidThread Previous | Thread Next
