Not exactly. The list of items doesn't espouse the same puritanical fear
of the language that I've come to loathe about PBP and PC. These seem to
be largely reasonable without any of the silly suggestions (like using
Class::Std or banning unless or banning statement modifiers or cargo
culting regex modifiers even when they're irrelevant or ...) that are in
PBP.
