Well, IIRC it didn't complain because I didn't run Perl::Critic (or to
be more exact http://perlcritic.com) on cleaned up code... But I guess
that Perl::Critic might not try to catch them because 'use strict'
catches them.

P.S. Of course Perl::Critic is not perfect. Most funny quirk was it
complaining in --harsh (severity 3) mode 
  Main code has high complexity score (54) at line 1, column 1.
  Consider refactoring.  Severity: 3
about "#!/usr/bin/perl" line!
