Any files that are copied from somewhere else should be immune from
our coding standards.

This includes items in

lib/Parse/RecDescent.pm, which is from CPAN, or

languages/tcl/library/*, from tcl's standard library.

r15596 changed some of these "exempt" files. This exemption should be
codified in the PDD and into the test files.

As of r16495 the external-but-in-the-repo Perl files are now exempt
from being tested by perlcritic.t. This also goes for the
automatically generated perl files.

I'll attack the C-language files soon.

Exempt C-language files now protected from the coding standards hammer,
as of r16496.

Is it ok to close this ticket now?

[Jerry Gay]

not until the pdd is updated.

Updated in r16498. What thinks you?
