Subantive content of Perl programs (Score:2)
A random idea: measuring the degree of redundancy in a Perl source file. I think it'd have to be something other that just simple text redundancy, since you dan't want short symbol names (or hash key) being favored over long ones.

Of course the statistic needs to be weighted by the number of lines and length of the lines.
What is debatable is whether one should toss single-line idioms such as
@out = sort {$a $b} @list;
which might occur in several places, into a single subroutine.

I think a feature to detect the longest sequence of repeated lines would be useful, too.
