<p>It's a while since our <a href="http://news.perlfoundation.org/2015/02/perllint-bug-fixes-and-new-pol.html">last report on Perl::Lint</a>, but Taiki has made considerable progress since then, releasing 3 new versions of this Perl source code analyser.</p>
<p>Perl::Lint doesn't yet support everything described in <a href="http://news.perlfoundation.org/2014/03/grant-proposal-perllint---yet.html">Taiki's original proposal for this TPF grant</a> as it needs <a href="https://github.com/moznion/Perl-Lint/issues/69">a few small improvements</a> to match Perl::Critic.</p>
<p>Despite this, Taiki has written <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Perl::Lint#PERFORMANCE">a fast alternative to Perl::Critic</a> that's easy to use, well documented and now has <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Test::Perl::Lint">an associated test module</a>.</p>
<p>I would like to suggest to The Perl Foundation's Grants Committee that we treat this grant as a success. Please leave a comment on this post if you support or oppose this.</p>
<p>Finally, I would like to thank everyone who has experimented with Perl::Lint so far, particularly those who have raised reports of problems they encountered, and most of all Taiki for fixing these problems along with the rest of his good work.</p>
