Subject: RequireLocalizedPunctuationVars should allow $0
Changing $0 globally is quite legitimately editable in Unix to change the display string for the process in the operating system process list. $0 should thus be added to the list of exempted magic variables.

To: bug-Perl-Critic [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Elliot Shank <perl [...] galumph.com>
Given that this policy is readily configurable to allow this sort of thing and the relative proportion of code that uses this trick, I am disinclined to agree with this request.

What do you mean "illegally"?
