A few libraries have asked recently if, prior to production/during the
development lifecycle, automated source code analysis tools are used to test
for security flaws specifically. Typically these questions are in relation to
processes like renewing cybersecurity insurance or initial discovery by a
potential partner library's security/IT department.

Perlcritic seems to be currently used, but as far as I can tell it appears the
tests are for enforcing the coding standard. 

Using an automated tool to look for security flaws will be a beneficial
addition to the project, so I'd like to at least start the discussion here.
