Subject: Suggested policy: fold cases using fc
This is interesting reading: http://www.effectiveperlprogramming.com/blog/1507 Doing a case-insensitive comparison as lc($foo) eq lc($bar) is not correct, and nor is using 'uc'. Instead perl 5.16 introduces 'fc', the fold-case operator, which can be used: fc($foo) eq fc($bar) This suggests that when perl 5.16 is out, a new policy can spot lc() or uc() being used for string comparisons and suggest using fc() instead.

Yeah, but it would have to turn itself off if the 'fc' feature wasn't enabled.
