The problem with this method is that scanning these results reveals conflicting and contradictory recommendations that are all over the place. Some are so old they may not even be valid PHP any more. Reading even a small subset of these pages is an exercise in frustration. But that makes sense as there doesn't appear to be any consistency nor consensus within the community, or even within some of the larger projects. Speaking of consensus, based on a recent discussion on the Perl Beginners mailing list, the Perl Best Practices book is now considered to be deprecated among the active Perl community. Many of its recommendations are obsolete and no longer used. It is long past due for a major rewrite.
