Sure. I don't think that's being obscure at all, and such usage was 
clearly pointed out in the man page. It's a perfectly logical way to 
employ it. I'm just pointing out that from what I've read, I'm guessing 
the group that finds Perl to be "unreadable" would consider that an 
insufficient solution. Perhaps fearing that it is too easy to skip the 
style enforcement step.

Really it isn't any different from the way some projects might have 
incorporated processing through 'lint' into their build process. It 
seems like an adequate solution to me.

Yup.
